[Eric Cavalcanti]

Please circulate the following call for applications for Visiting
Fellowships at the Sydney Centre for the Foundations of Science.
Applications are welcome not only from historians and philosophers of
science, as described below, but also researchers in
philosophically-informed science, e.g. physicists working in foundations.

Best regards,

 *Call for Applications for Visiting Fellowships at 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) 2013 or first semester (February to May) 2014. This program is
associated with The Sydney Centre for the Foundations of Science (SCFS),
a research centre promoting 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 sixth round of such fellowships and we
anticipate being able to offer them each year.

Up to four fellowships are available, 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. It is important that the applicant has a position at their home
institution that extends beyond the term of the intended stay in Sydney and
is on salary from their home institution for the duration of their intended
stay. The allowance is to help offset some of the travelling and
living-away-from-home expenses; it is not a salary. The successful
applicants will be expected to work on a specific research project
currently being conducted in the  SCFS. See the SCFS website for current
research projects. 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, an indication of which
of the current research projects you intend to work on and what your
contribution to that project will be. Applications should be sent
electronically to:

 Dr Rodney Taveira
Administrative Officer
Sydney Centre for the Foundations of Science
School of Philosophical and Historical Inquiry
A14, Main Quadrangle
University of Sydney
Sydney, NSW, 2006
Australia
Email: rodney.taveira at sydney.edu.au

 by 14th November 2012. Applicants will be informed of decisions by 19th
December 2012.
