2010-11 VISITING FELLOWSHIPS IN THE SYDNEY CENTRE FOR THE FOUNDATIONS OF SCIENCE

We are currently inviting applications for one-semester visiting
fellowships at The University of Sydney, for either second semester
(August to November) 2010 or first semester (February to May) 2011.
This program is associated with The Sydney Centre for the Foundations
of Science (SCFS), a research centre sponsoring work into the logical,
philosophical and historical foundations of science (further details
below). We are hoping to receive applications from leading historians
and philosophers of science (including the special sciences and
biomedical sciences) at any post-PhD career stage. This is the fourth
round of such fellowships and we anticipate being able to offer them
each year.

It is expected that there will be up to four fellowships per year, and
each fellowship will come with a travelling allowance of up to AUD
6,000. These fellowships will provide opportunities for academics on
sabbatical from their home institution to spend a semester in a
productive and collegial research environment (in a beautiful city),
to work with members of the SCFS and with other visiting fellows. The
stipend is to help offset some of the travelling and
living-away-from-home expenses. The successful applicants will be
expected to work on a specific research project that is of interest to
members of the SCFS. One of the aims of the SCFS is to strengthen
international links in history and philosophy of science, so
expressions of interest from researchers outside Australia are
particularly encouraged.

Applications should including a cover letter, a CV, and a brief
outline of the proposed research project (including why you wish to
pursue the research at the University of Sydney and which members of
the SCFS team you anticipate collaborating with). Applications should
be sent (preferably electronically) to:
