The University of Johannesburg has released a special call offering masters, doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships, for start asap, deadline 8th Feb 2020.
These are in any area, but I would like to specifically invite anyone wishing to work with myself (or colleagues at UJ) on any of the areas listed below. From May 2020, I will be Director of the Institute for the Future of Knowledge at UJ (a new institute – no website yet – but watch this space!), and being part of this enterprise will, I think, be very exciting for potential students/post-docs. I would be delighted to receive inquiries in any of the following areas:
- Philosophy of medicine
- Philosophy of epidemiology
- Causation
- Counterfactuals
- Causal inference
- Prediction
- Explanation (not just causal)
- Machine learning (in relation to any of the above)
- Cognitive science
- Other things potentially relevant to the Institute, my interests, your interests… please suggest!
If you’re interested please get in touch: abbroadbent@uj.ac.za
The call is here, along with instructions for applicants:
