Understanding public data: experts, decisions, epistemic values.

Call for three post-doc positions

Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa
Scuola IMT Alti Studi Lucca
Scuola Universitaria Superiore IUSS Pavia


A joint SNS/IMT/IUSS project, co-ordinated by Scuola Normale, will explore the epistemological framework underlying public decision-making when confronted with complex scientific data. Logic, epistemology, philosophy of science and critical thinking can substantially contribute to issues concerning reasoning in social setting, belief revision and merging, expert choice, decision-making in uncertainty conditions, the epistemology of trust, and understanding of complex data.

The three post-docs will take part in a highly multi-disciplinary project in close cooperation with their respective supervisors and research teams, within a network of three among Italy's Schools for Advanced Studies. 


Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa
www.sns.it

Research at SNS will focus on themes at the crossroads of logic (especially, proof-theory), formal modelling in social sciences, and formal epistemology. Topics include group deliberation, belief revision and merging, judgment and preference aggregation, multi–agent non-monotonic reasoning, multi-agent epistemic and deontic logic.

Grant is for one year, renewable for a second year.

Call: Formal methods for reasoning in social settings, see: https://amministrazionetrasparente.sns.it/sites/default/files/bandi/assegniricerca/anno2022/448call.pdf

Deadline: July 14, 2022

IMT Lucca
www.imtlucca.it

Research at IMT will focus on models of cognition and rational decision-making at the crossroads of philosophy of science, formal epistemology, and cognitive science. Topics include: theories of rationality, probabilistic and causal reasoning, Bayesian approaches, scientific models, expert opinion and data, heuristics and biases, nudging and boosting, science communication and public understanding of science.

Grant is for one year.

Call: Modeling rational decisions, expert judgment, and social behavior, see: https://www.imtlucca.it/it/jobopportunity/modeling-rational-decisions-expert-judgment-and-social-behavior

Deadline: July 8, 2022

Scuola Universitaria Superiore IUSS Pavia
www.iusspavia.it

Research at IUSS will focus on the epistemology of understanding and reasoning when confronted with complex/incomplete data and high-stake decisions. Topics include: logical reasoning and critical thinking in informed decision-making; rational choice, risk and uncertainty; logical and epistemological pluralism in the construction of public opinion; the influence of technological aids in choice architecture; the reliability of intuitions and emotional states in the reception of public decisions; the epistemic values underlying reputation and trust.
Grant is for one year, renewable for a second year.

Call is closed.
