Two postdoctoral positions 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.
