Job description
The Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) is looking for an excellent PhD candidate in the areas of Logic and Analytic Philosophy within the project 'The Logic of Conceivability [LoC]. Modelling Rational Imagination With Non-Normal Modal Logics'. This is a 5-year project (2017-2021) funded with 2.000.000 Euros by the European Research Council, and led by Principal Investigator (PI) Prof. Franz Berto, Chair at the Department of Philosophy.

The PhD candidate will work within the subproject 'Conceivability and Possibility', assessing the role of conceivability in our knowledge of absolute or metaphysical modality, also with the use of logical formal tools, and will have the PI Franz Berto as the main supervisor. The subproject will last for the first four years of the LoC project (2017-2020), and the candidate will be fully funded.

The candidate will have completed an MA or MSc in Logic or Analytic Philosophy, and will have demonstrable competence in Logic, Metaphysics, Epistemology and/or Philosophy of Mind. Her/his exam records, thesis, and writing sample will be those of a promising graduate student ready to undertake excellent research.

The deadline for applying is 2 October 2016. The preferred starting date is 1 January 2017, but short delays can be negotiated in case of need.
