PhD student position in Contextual approach to scientific problem 
solving processes, Gent (Belgium)

The Centre for Logic and Philosophy of Science of Ghent University 
(http://logica.ugent.be/centrum/) has a vacancy for a pre-doctoral 
researcher in a research project entitled Contextual and formal- logical 
approach to scientific problem solving processes.

The general aim of the project is to develop formal tools - in the 
adaptive logics tradition originating in the work of D. Batens - for the 
analysis of scientific reasoning processes. Other researchers already 
working on this project deal with e.g. abductive and inductive reasoning 
and conceptual change.

Applications must be received before 6 June 2010. For more information, 
see http://www.illc.uva.nl/NewsandEvents/newsitem.php?id=3396 or
