PROJECT: We looking for postdoctoral fellow to join our team for a project on the role or nature of logic, with a focus on inferentialist views and so-called “logical expressivism.” The title of the project is “Logical Expressivism: Material Consequence as the Foundation of Logic.” The principal investigator is Ulf Hlobil; collaborators are: Eduardo Barrio, Robert Brandom, Jaroslav Peregrin, and Lucas Rosenblatt.

This will require familiarity with sequent calculi and semantics for substructural logics. We will implement computer simulations of the use of different logics in dialogues and in the analysis of natural-language arguments. The position will involve some light administrative and organizational tasks related to the project.
