Lectureship in Mathematical and Philosophical Logic, Bristol (UK), Deadline: 5 December 2011

Lectureship in Mathematical and Philosophical Logic,
http://www.bris.ac.uk/boris/jobs/feeds/ads?ID=104211

Applications are invited for the above post tenable from 1 August 2012 or 
a date to be agreed. A Lectureship is similar to an Assistant 
Professorship in Northern America.

We seek an outstanding researcher and teacher from any area of logic to 
contribute to an internationally leading research programme as well as to 
undertake teaching and administrative duties as appropriate.

The post will be a joint appointment made by the School of Mathematics of 
the Faculty of Science and the Philosophy Department of the Faculty of 
Arts. The post will be considered interdepartmental and you will be 
expected to contribute to the Logic teaching in both departments as well 
as possibly set theory in the School of Mathematics. You will also 
contribute fully to the research of the Logic and Set Theory Group in 
Mathematics and to relevant research in philosophy in areas amongst 
philosophical logic, the foundations and philosophy of mathematics, and 
the foundations and philosophy of computation.

The relevant existing staff in mathematics and philosophy constitute one 
of the world?s leading groups in set theory and mathematical and 
philosophical logic; see 
http://www.maths.bris.ac.uk/research/pure/themes/set_theory, and 
http://www.bristol.ac.uk/philosophy/projects/index_html for more 
information on staff and research interests. The philosophy department has 
strong links with researchers in other mathematical sciences including 
computer science, complexity science, decision theory and evolutionary 
game theory, mathematical biology and physics. This is an open-ended post, 
subject to the University's standard procedures.

For informal enquiries please contact Professor Leon Horsten ( 
leon.horsten@bristol.ac.uk), Professor Philip Welch 
(p.welch@bristol.ac.uk), Professor James Ladyman, Head of Philosophy
