[SIPTA] Job opportunities at the MCMP Munich
by Niki Pfeifer Oct. 10, 2013

Oct. 10, 2013

Dr.Dr. Niki Pfeifer (Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy, LMU Munich) offers under the usual equal opportunity conditions one doctoral researcher position OR one early postdoctoral researcher position (i.e., if the PhD is obtained after January 1, 2013) to work in the intersection of philosophy and psychology (65%, TV-L 13, 1 year, extension possibilities will depend on performance and funding situation). Moreover, one student assistant position is vacant. The (post)doctoral researcher will focus on empirical work (developing the research hypotheses, designing the experiments and running the data analysis) in the field of reasoning under uncertainty, focusing on conditionals. One student assistant will support the (post)doctoral researcher with the construction of the experimental material, collection of the data and preparation of the data for analysis. Working language is English or German. Deadline for applications: open, until filled (filled positions will be announced on the project website). For an application send an email including the following items to niki.pfeifer(a)lrz.uni-muenchen.de 1) a letter of motivation 2) curriculum vitae 3) a scan of the most recent academic degrees 4) evidence of English and mathematical skills (e.g., school/university grades) 5) two confidential letters of reference addressing the applicant's qualifications are required for each position. These must be sent by the referees directly to me. The ideal candidate will be an empirically oriented analytical philosopher or an experimental psychologist interested in epistemological problems. For selection criteria and further details see the project website: www.pfeifer-research.de/spp.html I regret that I will not be able to send out negative notifications. -- Dr.Dr. Niki Pfeifer www.pfeifer-research.de Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (Germany)

See http://grammars.grlmc.com/tpnc2013/ Poster presentations are intended to enhance informal interactions with the conference participants, at the same time permitting in-depth discussion. TOPICS Authors are encouraged to submit presentations that discuss novel work in progress on: - nature-inspired models of computation, - synthesis of nature by means of computation, - nature-inspired materials, - information processing in nature, - applications of natural computing. Posters do not need to present final research results. Work that may lead to new interesting developments is welcome. KEY DATES Submission deadline: October 20, 2013 Notification of poster acceptance or rejection: October 27, 2013 SUBMISSION Please submit a .pdf abstract through: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tpnc2013 It should contain the title, author(s) and affiliation, and should not exceed 500 words. PRESENTATION Posters will be allocated 8 minutes each in the programme for oral presentation. Moreover, they will remain hanging during the whole conference for discussion. PUBLICATION Posters will not appear in the LNCS proceedings volume of TPNC 2013. However, they will be eligible for submission to the post-conference Soft Computing journal special issue. REGISTRATION Authors of accepted posters have to register to the conference. Their registration fare is reduced: 150 Euro (appr. one third of the fare for PhD students).
