The Foundations of Logical Consequence Project
The Foundations of Logical Consequence project began in January 2009. The project is funded over a period of three and a half years by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). The funding for the project includes two postgraduate studentships. One has already been awarded, and the student started on 1 September 2009. The other studentship has yet to be awarded.
For further details of the project, see the Foundations of Logical Consequence website:
http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~arche/projects/logic/index.shtml
The successful applicant will be full member of the FLC project, and will be expected to attend all FLC seminars and events. However, the topic of research undertaken by the candidate can be any subject within the philosophy of logic related in some way to the project. To discuss possible topics of research, please contact the Principal Investigator, Professor Stephen Read (slr@st-and.ac.uk).
The studentship provides full coverage of tuition fees for EU students. It provides, in addition, a yearly maintenance grant of up to £12,500 for students from within the UK, or EU students who have spent the last three years in the UK. These studentships are not open to applicants from outside the EU. The award is for three years (or, if the successful candidate has been in receipt of AHRC postgraduate funding already, for a maximum of four years in total).
Applicants must apply for admission to the St Andrews Philosophy Graduate Programme through the Postgraduate Admissions Office. There is no closing date, and the studentship will be awarded as soon as a suitable applicant is found. For instructions on how to apply see http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/admissions/pg/.
Please indicate in your application that you wish to be considered for the FLC studentship in Arché. In addition to meeting all of the standard University requirements for new PhD applicants, it may be advantageous for you to include with your application a longer writing sample (up to 6000 words) and short statement of your research interests detailing how your proposed research will contribute to the overall aims of the Foundations of Logical Consequence project. As Arché is a collaborative research centre, a willingness and enthusiasm to work within a team ethos is essential.
