Postdoctoral position in formal argumentation (2y), Milan (Italy)

Deadline: Wednesday 4 September 2019

The Department of Philosophy at the University of Milan is looking for a very strong and highly motivated postdoctoral researcher in Logic to join Marcello D'Agostino and Hykel Hosni who are the PIs of the project 'Logical Foundations and Applications of Depth-Bounded Probability'. The succesful candidate will work on the "Formal Argumentation: a Framework for Rational Reasoning and Learning Under Uncertainty in AI" project.The motivating idea of this project is the observation that real-world reasoners possess limited resources. However, standard probabilistic methods systematically disregard this feature and impose constraints that realistic forecasters may never be able to attain. This project takes up the challenge of developing a logically sound, computationally feasible and therefore practically applicable theory of rational reasoning and decision making under uncertainty.

Requirements: Strong PhD in Logic and related areas with a solid background in at least two of the following: non classical logics, computational complexity, probability theory, formal argumentation theory, and/or decision/game theory.
