Responsibilities: The primary duties are research and teaching at all levels, from undergraduate to PhD, primarily in logic, but also in adjacent fields of theoretical philosophy.

Qualification requirements: Specific qualifications required to be considered as a candidate for employment as professor include documented scientific proficiency at a high international level and documented teaching proficiency.

Candidates lacking formal advanced education in teaching theory, corresponding to a minimum of 7.5 higher education credits, and who are judged not in possession of corresponding teaching skills, must pursue such studies during the first two years of employment.
