History and purpose

Through the generosity of Dr Wesley Phoa and Margaret Morgan, two New Foundations PhD Scholarships have been established at the School of Mathematics and Statistics. These scholarships will enable two students, co-supervised by Dr Thomas Forster and Professor Noam Greenberg, to make new discoveries, advance our mathematical understanding, and expand our knowledge of Quine's New Foundations, capitalising upon recent breakthroughs in the field that the donors helped make possible. Who is eligible?

We are seeking a highly motivated person with an excellent academic record, who is familiar with the basics of mathematical logic, in particular set theory.

The ideal candidate will have an Honours or Master's degree with an excellent GPA, background in mathematical logic, and excellent written and oral communication skills in English.

Application process

To apply for the PhD position, please send the scholarship specific documentation to: Prof. Noam Greenberg noam.greenberg@vuw.ac.nz and Dr Thomas Forster tef10@cam.ac.uk
