The Tilburg Center for Logic and Philosophy of Science invites applications for two doctoral fellowships commencing on September 1, 2007. Candidates should have a Masters degree (or equivalent) in philosophy, work in one of the areas covered by the Center and have a commitment to interdisciplinary and collaborative work. We are especially interested in students who want to work in one of the following fields: Bayesian epistemology, general philosophy of science, or the philosophy of a special science (e.g. economics or psychology). The fellowship includes a stipend of 750 Euro per month for a period of three years, at the end of which we expect the PhD thesis to be completed. Tuition fees are waived. Funds will also be available for computer equipment and the attendance of conferences.

A hardcopy of the application package (including a curriculum vitae, certificates and transcripts of courses taken, a project proposal of no more than 5000 words, and two letters of recommendation) should be sent to Pre-Doctoral Fellowships Committee, c/o P & O, Department of Philosophy, Tilburg University, Warandelaan 2, P.O. Box 90153, 5000 LE Tilburg, The Netherlands, or email to solliciterenfdl@uvt.nl. The deadline for applications is January 15, 2007. Successful candidates will be automatically enrolled in our PhD program. No separate application for the PhD program is required. Informal enquiries may be directed to S.Hartmann@lse.ac.uk.
