Jobs and fellowships at the Tilburg Center for Logic and Philosophy of Science

[Stephan Hartmann]

Tilburg University, the Netherlands, has 
established the new Tilburg Center for Logic and 
Philosophy of Science, headed by Prof. Stephan 
Hartmann, which will commence its work on 1 May 
2007. The members of the Center work on a wide 
variety of topics in logic and general philosophy 
of science as well as on philosophical problems 
of the special sciences, especially psychology 
and economics, but also on the philosophy of 
physics. Some are also interested in social 
choice theory, formal methods in philosophy and 
the logic of language and information. As part of 
our plan to further expand our strengths in 
philosophy of social science and philosophy of 
economics we are currently looking for an 
Assistant Professor in one of these fields. We 
are also advertising several visiting fellowships 
for advanced PhD students and visiting faculty, a 
PhD position and two PhD studentships. For more
