[Logica-l] Fwd: One-year postdoc, University of Salzburg (corrected version)

[Joao Marcos]

-- Forwarded message -

As part of the Cluster of Excellence ‘Knowledge in Crisis’, funded by the
Austrian Science Fund (FWF) [COE 03], the Paris Lodron University of
Salzburg is seeking to appoint a


*postdoctoral researcher (f/m/d; 40 hours/week; for 1 year)*

The advertised position is based at the Philosophy Department, Faculty of
Social Sciences. The recently awarded Cluster of Excellence research
project, Knowledge in Crisis investigates the current crisis of knowledge.
Our claims to knowledge are being threatened by rapid and spectacular
developments in technology, and by attacks on the very ideas of knowledge
and truth themselves. The aim of the Cluster is to advance our
understanding of this crisis. It will explore fundamental philosophical
questions about the nature of knowledge and investigate various challenges
to scientific and other knowledge. In this pursuit it brings together
philosophers working on metaphysics, ethics, political and social
philosophy, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, philosophy of
science and epistemology to jointly investigate the many facets of the
crisis.

The Cluster is a collaboration between four Institutions (CEU and the
universities of Vienna, Graz and Salzburg). The Cluster will eventually
involve over 45 researchers across the four participating institutions. You
can find out more about the project on this website:
https://philosophy.ceu.edu/knowledge-crisis

The main duties are:

   - To conduct independent research in Philosophy of Logic or Logic or
   Philosophy of Language in the context of the project and disseminate it
   through publications in international peer-reviewed academic journals
   - To actively participate in the regular meetings and events of the
   Cluster
   - To contribute to Cluster activities by organising Cluster events (e.g.
   workshops, seminars, talks, summer schools)
   - To participate in outreach activities of the Cluster and contribute to
   events aimed at the general public
   - To help with organizational tasks that are part of the
   self-administration of the university.

We expect:

   - A PhD in philosophy (the PhD should be completed by the application
   deadline)
   - A record of producing high-quality research in Philosophy of Logic or
   Logic or Philosophy of Language as evidenced by publications (commensurate
   with the applicant’s career stage)
   - Excellent written and spoken English
   - The ability to work both independently and as part of a team
   - Willingness to take on a formative role in fostering a community
   across the Cluster
   - Organisational skills

While there are no teaching duties associated with these positions there
will be opportunities to teach courses in the department. Courses can be
taught in English.

The gross monthly salary is € 4752,30. In Austria, 14 monthly salaries are
paid out in a year. (Net salaries can be calculated on this page:
onlinerechner.haude.at/BMF-Brutto-Netto-Rechner/.
)

Funding is available for conference trips and stays abroad. The contract is
for one year.

Applications should contain the following documents (in *pdf-format*) and
should be sent by 23 May 2024 to Kathrin Hommel (kathrin.hommel AT
plus.ac.at).

   - A cover letter,
   - A CV, containing at least the following rubrics: academic
   qualifications, areas of expertise and competence, publications,
   presentations, admin/organizational experience, career breaks (if any)
   - A research proposal, of no more than three pages,
   - Two article-length writing samples,
   - Degree certificates and academic transcripts,
   - Two confidential letters of recommendation, which should also be sent
   to Kathrin Hommel

*The subject line of your email should by 'One year postdoc KIC'*

Selection Process: We expect to shortlist candidates for interview by early
June and hold online interviews in the second half of June 2024. *Important*:
If your application is successful and you accept a position at the
University of Salzburg, you will need to move to Salzburg before you can
start employment. Any questions can be directed to Kathrin Hommel
(kathrin.hommel AT plus.ac.at).

The Paris Lodron University of Salzburg is committed to equity, diversity,
and inclusion. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for
employment without regard to race, colour, religion, gender, gender
identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or age.

Individuals with disabilities or chronic illnesses who meet the required
qualification criteria are explicitly encouraged to apply. The Paris Lodron
University Salzburg aims to increase the proportion of women in its staff
and therefore, in case of equal qualifications, women will be given
priority.

[Logica-l] Newton da Costa / CfP Book and Congress / ici-Rio-2024

[jean-yves beziau]

(1) A LONG LIFE
One week ago, April 16, 2024, the Brazilian logician Newton Da Costa died,
after a life of  94 years  + 7 months   (He was born September 16, 1929).
I tell here the influence of  Newton da Costa in the development of my work
and future projects dedicated to him.

(2) MY MEETING WITH DA COSTA, PARIS 1991
I met Newton da Costa in January 1991 in Paris and he invited me to work
with him in Brazil.
Details of the story can be found here:
http://www.jyb-logic.org/JYB50

(3) PARACONSISTENT LOGIC
My interest for the work of Newton da Costa was initially related to
paraconsistent logic:
J.-Y.Béziau, “Adventures in the paraconsistent jungle”, in Handbook of
Paraconsistency, College Publications, London, 2007, pp.63-80:
https://www.jyb-logic.org/adv3.pdf
I have been involved in the organization of the World Congresses of
Paraconsistency:
https://www.paraconsistency.org/
The 7th edition will take place in Oaxaca, Mexico, Sept 2-6, 2024:
https://sites.google.com/view/wcp7
I am the editor of the Paraconsistent Newsletter.
The first interview is with Newton da Costa:
https://www.paraconsistency.org/2016w
The latest one with João Marcos:
https://sites.google.com/view/paranews-2024-1
There is a special issue of the South American Journal of Logic (SAJL, a
journal I launched with my colleague Marcelo Coniglio in 2015),
edited by Luis Felipe Bartolo Alegre and José Carlos Cifuentes, dedicated
to the Peruvian philosopher Francisco Miró Quesada, a long time friend of
Newton da Costa, including his letter proposing the expression
"paraconsistent logic", on a request by da Costa.
SAJL Volume 6, Issue 2, December 2020:
https://www.sa-logic.org/sajl-62.html
This year, in January, I organized, together with Luis Alegre, in Cusco,
Peru:
SALOME 1: The 1st South American LOgic MEeting
https://www.salome2024.org/

(4) UNIVERSAL LOGIC
I developed the universal logic project based on my collaboration with
Newton da Costa on the theory of valuations, as explained here:
J.-Y.Béziau, “From paraconsistent to universal logic”, Sorites, 12 (2001),
pp.5-32.
https://www.jyb-logic.org/papers/From%20paraconsistent%20logic%20to%20universal%20logic-2.pdf
After spending one year with Newton da Costa in São Paulo 1991-92, I moved
with his support to Poland for one year and a half (1992-1993).
This is where I coined the expression "Universal Logic", details here:
The Lvov-Warsaw School : a True Mythology
https://www.jyb-logic.org/LWS
I defended my PhD "Recherches sur la  Logique Universelle" at the
Department of Mathematics of the University Denis Diderot Paris in 1995,
after a Fulbright stay at the Department of Mathematics of the University
of California, Los Angeles,
and an additional stay with da Newton Costa in São Paulo in 1994 where I
wrote my PhD.
After two years at Stanford working with Patrick Suppes, a good friend of
Newton da Costa, I moved to Switzerland in 2002.
In 2007 I founded the journal Logica Universalis (Brikhäuser/Springer)
https://link.springer.com/journal/11787
after having organized the 1st UNILOG, World Congress and School on
Universal Logic in Montreux, Switzerland, 2005
https://www.uni-log.org/

(5)  NEWTON DA COSTA LOGIC PRIZE AND THE WORLD LOGIC PRIZES CONTEST
I launched the Newton da Costa logic prize in September 2014, for his 85th
birthday:
https://www.uni-log.org/newton-da-costa-prize.html
This  led to the creation of logic awards worldwide and the World Logic
Prizes Contest.(WLPC).
The first edition took place at the 6th UNILOG in Vichy in 2018, the second
at the 7th UNILOG in Crete in 2022:
https://sites.google.com/view/unilog-2022/7th-congress/logic-prizes
The third edition will take place at the 8th UNILOG in Cusco, Peru, in
December 2025.
We plan to have for this edition 25 countries competing. People who would
like to organize a logic prize in their country are welcome to contact the
Logica Universalis Association - LUA:
http://www.logica-universalis.org/LUAD

(6) WORLD LOGIC DAY
After the 1st edition of the WLPC in Vichy in 2018, I projected to organize
the World Logic Day (WLD) on January 14, day of birth of Tarski and death
of Gödel:
Logic Prizes et Cætera
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11787-018-0215-6
The first edition of the WLD was organized by LUA in more than 50 locations
around the world on January 14, 2019:
https://www.logica-universalis.org/wld
and was recognized the same year by UNESCO after my visit to the UNESCO
Brazilian Ambassador in Paris in  April 2019:
https://sites.google.com/view/kg-wld-2024

(7)  NEWTON DA COSTA 90TH BIRTHDAY - SEPTEMBER 16, 2019, SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL
https://sites.google.com/view/nca90/
Including congratulations from researchers around the world:
https://sites.google.com/view/nca90/happy-birthday

(8)  CONGRESS FOR THE 90TH ANNIVERSARY OF NEWTON DA COSTA - DECEMBER 2019,
