Canada Research Chair in Logic and the Philosophy of Science -- Calgary

Richard Zach draws my attention to a very attractive position that the Calgary Philosophy Department is advertising at the moment: a Tier I Canada Research Chair in Logic and the Philosophy of Science. It is a research-intensive, tenured position, with a very low teaching load, for those keen on developing their own long-term research program. In other words, it is a very attractive position, at a department that is already very strong in logic and related areas. The official announcement with further details can be found below.
