Postdoctoral position on "The roots of deduction", Groningen (The Netherlands)

Within the VIDI project 'The Roots of Deduction' led by Catarina Dutilh Novaes, the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Groningen is advertising a 12-month post-doc position (salary scale 11.0, EUR 3.259 gross per month), to commence in January 2015 or shortly thereafter. The successful candidate will be expected to participate in the activities of the project (seminars, reading groups etc.) and to conduct research related to the topics covered by the project (no teaching obligations included).

Given the broad scope of the project, candidates with a number of different backgrounds will be considered, as long as they have a keen interest in the general topic of deductive proofs in logic and mathematics. Candidates will have just obtained or be about to obtain their PhD degrees. Since it was launched in 2011, the project has been running in a highly collaborative manner, and thus we are specifically looking for people who like to engage in collective research. Candidates are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with the questions, results and activities of the project by consulting the project's website.
