Fwd: Post-Doc Position in Logic, University of Milan

[Joao Marcos]

---------- Forwarded message ---------

The Milano Logic Group is thrilled to advertise a postdoc position (one year, renewable) on the project “Quantitative and qualitative approximations of reasoning”.

THE PROJECT

The goal of the project is to extend Depth-Bounded Logics

– on the lines of the recent results obtained by the group on the Depth-bounded approximation of probability  and belief functions

– with qualitative aspects (modal, dynamic, and multiagent) for reasoning about knowledge, in particular under negative trust and trustworthiness

– and combining the two.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

The ideal applicant will have (or have submitted at the time of applying) a strong PhD in Logic, either in computer science, mathematics or philosophy. Very good knowledge of either probability- or epistemic logics is mandatory. Good command of both is an advantage.

Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to get acquainted with the Logic Group’s style of research, described here and can get a feel for what’s expected from their research by looking at the Group’s recent publications .

The appointed researcher will be expected to contribute to the activities of the Logic Group, to present and publish their results at high-standard conferences and journals.

THE LOGIC GROUP

The selected candidate will join a thriving research group based at the Department of Philosophy at the University of Milan, and will be working under the joint supervision of Marcello D’Agostino, Hykel Hosni and Giuseppe Primiero. In addition, the Logic group comprises two postdoctoral researchers and three PhD students — all working on topics related to this project.

MILAN

Among the most attractive Italian cities, Milan is highly international and dynamic, with much to offer in terms of culture, entertainment and research. For more information we refer to https://www.yesmilano.it/en
