Description:

2 fully funded PhD positions in Logic and 
Language at TiLPS

The Tilburg Center for Logic and Philosophy 
of Science (TiLPS) invites applications for 
two fully funded four-year PhD positions.

1 PhD student in Natural Logic and Linguistic 
Semantics
1 PhD student in Computational Logic and 
Natural Reasoning

Individuals are encouraged to apply who have 
an interest in logical and computational 
theories of ordinary reasoning, natural logic,
and/or linguistic semantics and who want to 
investigate these topics in an interdisciplinary 
setting where linguistic investigation is
combined with tableau theorem proving and model 
checking. The positions are part of the program 
'Towards Logics that Model Natural Reasoning', 
funded by a Free Competition grant from the 
Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research 
(NWO) and led by Reinhard Muskens. More 
information about this program and about the 
projects can be found at 

http://lyrawww.uvt.nl/~rmuskens/natural/

These positions are open to candidates with a 
master's degree or equivalent and successful 
candidates are required to complete a PhD
thesis within maximally four years. 

We expect the willingness to work in an 
international interdisciplinary research 
environment. The PhD candidates will receive 
a starting salary of 2042 Euro gross per month 
in the first year. The salary in the last year 
is 2612 Euro.

Applications (in English) should include a cover 
letter, a curriculum vitae, a two-page research 
proposal, and the names of two references. 
Candidates are also invited to include a sample 
of their writing, if one is available in English, 
French, German or Dutch. Only applications made 
with the help of our Application Wizard will
be taken into consideration:
