[PhilPhys] Fwd: Pittsburgh Summer Program for Undergraduate Students

[Center for Phil Sci]

Please forward to your students:


*Pittsburgh Summer Program *
The Center for Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh

*What is it?*
The Summer Program features two daily graduate seminars about core issues
and cutting-edge topics in general philosophy of science and philosophy of
the special sciences (e.g., physics, biology, cognitive science and
neuroscience, social sciences). The seminars and lectures will be given by
internationally recognized faculty in the <http://www.hps.pitt.edu/>*Department
of History and Philosophy of Science* and the
<http://www.philosophy.pitt.edu/>*Department of Philosophy* at the
University of Pittsburgh as well as in the
<https://www.cmu.edu/dietrich/philosophy/>*Department of Philosophy at
Carnegie Mellon University*.

*Housing, meals, transportation within North America, and course materials
are fully covered, with partial reimbursement available for international
travel.*

*Who is it for?*
Undergraduate Students who are highly motivated and show strong academic
promise and interest in the philosophy of science. The program is open to
all qualified undergraduate applications. Past coursework in philosophy of
science is not a prerequisite for application to the Summer Program.
The program is designed to promote opportunities for all students,
including, but not limited to students underrepresented in philosophy of
science, such as women, LGBTQIA, students with disabilities, first
generation undergraduates, Pell eligible students, veterans, and
underrepresented minorities. The University of Pittsburgh, as an
educational institution and as an employer, does not discriminate on the
basis of disability, race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry,
genetic information, marital status, familial status, sex, age, sexual
orientation, veteran status or gender identity and expression in its
programs and activities.

*When is it?*
PSP9 will be held on July 14-18, 2025

*How to Apply:*
Before beginning the application process, you will need to collect:

   - Cover letter describing your future plans after graduation and your
   interests in philosophy of science (including the philosophy of physics,
   biology, cognitive science, neuroscience, social sciences, etc.).
   - CV (including College/University affiliation, major, GPA, high school,
   awards & recognition, any philosophy courses taken)
   - Brief writing sample (2,000 words maximum) that will help the
   selection committee assess your academic and philosophical skills.
   Typically, but not necessarily, this will be a paper that was written for a
   college course. Philosophy of science papers are preferable, but a paper on
   a topic from any discipline will work if no suitable philosophy paper is
   available. The most effective paper to submit will be the one which best
   exhibits your academic and philosophical skills. The writing sample can be
   a selection from a larger paper.
   - One letter of recommendation from a faculty member who is familiar
   with your work and can speak to your philosophical skills and suitability
   for this program to be mailed directly to The Center at *pittcntr at pitt.edu
   <pittcntr at pitt.edu>*.
