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<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<http://www.anvur.org/>). This document has been prepared by the Italian Society for Logic and Philosophy of Science (http://www.silfs.net<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. _______________________________________________ Logica-l mailing list [email protected] http://www.dimap.ufrn.br/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/logica-l
