[PhilPhys] habilitations for associate and full professorships in Logic, History and Philosophy of Science in Italy

[Mauro Dorato]

>>From the Italian Society for Logic and Philosophy of Science

The Italian Ministry for Higher Education has launched the first round
of “habilitation” selections for Professors and Associate Professors
in all academic disciplines, including Logic History and Philosophy of
Science. Achievement of the habilitation is a necessary requirement to
apply and compete for the positions that will be advertised by Italian
universities over the next few years. Successful candidates will
retain their habilitation for four years; at the end of this period,
if they have not been hired, they will have to apply again in order to
continue to be eligible. Candidates who fail to obtain the
habilitation cannot apply again for a period of two years.

The selection process to obtain the habilitation is based primarily on
a candidate’s publication record (no interviews are carried out at
this stage) and only requires the completion of an on-line application
form. More details and instructions, as well as registration and login
facilities, can be found at the official website of the Ministry
(http://abilitazione.miur.it, an English version will be available
soon). The committees are going to be composed by four Italian
professors chosen among a selected list and one foreign scholar
belonging to the field

In order to qualify for habilitation, candidates must have published a
number of books and articles in top international journals that
strictly exceeds the median number of publications of the Italian
professors that currently fill the same positions in their field. The
exact figures have been calculated by the Italian Agency for Research
Evaluation (ANVUR) and are available on a dedicated website
(http://www.anvur.org).

This document has been prepared by the Italian Society for Logic and
Philosophy of Science (http://www.silfs.net) and is meant to help
candidates from outside the Italian academia who intend to apply for
an habilitation in the 2012-2013 round.

The deadline for applications is November the 20th, 2012.

Please circulate the announcement as widely as possible

Certe cose ci tormentano più del dovuto, certe prima del dovuto, certe
assolutamente senza motivo. Seneca
 Accordingly, some things torment us more than they ought; some
torment us before they ought; and some torment us when they ought not
to torment us at all.
