Dear All,
We are looking for a Postdoctoral fellow (2 years) on the project "Logical Foundations and Applications of Depth-Bounded Probability" run by Marcello D'Agostino and myself.��
A short description of the project is provided��below. Though not explicitly mentioned,�� ideas and techniques from imprecise probability may be extremely relevant to tackle the research question.��
We set up a��page with FAQs�� which describes the person's specification and helps�� non Italians to go through the�� application procedure which is available at����http://www.unimi.it/ricerca/assegni_ricerca/123679.htm
For informal enquiries please write to��
Cheers,

Project description
=====================
The successful candidate will work on the "Logical Foundations and��Applications of Depth-Bounded Probability" project. Its overarching��goal of is a formal theory of uncertainty quantification,����argumentation and decision-making which is both epistemologically����robust, and practically applicable. The motivating idea of this����project is the observation that real-world reasoners possess limited����resources. However, standard probabilistic methods systematically����disregard this feature and impose constraints that realistic����forecasters may never be able to attain. This project takes up the����challenge of developing a logically sound, computationally feasible����and therefore practically applicable theory of rational reasoning and����decision making under uncertainty.
The key idea of this project is described in this paper
