Two postdoctoral positions (2y) in epistemic & semantic commitments of foundational theories, Warsaw (Poland), Deadline: 15 Jan 2022

Open Call for up to 2 fully funded Postdoc positions (each for 2 years)
within the framework of the grant MAESTRO 2019/34/A/HS1/00399, financed by
National Science Center (Narodowe Centrum Nauki), Poland

Host institution: University of Warsaw, Poland
Project title: Epistemic and semantic commitments of foundational theories

The main objective of the project is to provide a deep conceptual and
formal analysis of the notion of commitments of a foundational theory,
where the latter expression stands for a theory that can develop a
significant portion of mathematics (examples: Peano arithmetic,
Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory). The notion of a commitment is essentially
involved in many discussions in contemporary formal philosophy.
