PhD Positions in Logic and Epistemic Group Attitudes

vor 4 Wochen


Bern, Bern, Schweiz Universität Bern Vollzeit

We are seeking two PhD students to join our research project in the Logic and Theory Group of the Institute of Computer Science at the Universität Bern. The project focuses on developing and investigating new notions of group knowledge in multi-agent systems.

Project Overview

The project is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and aims to devise novel variants of common knowledge and distributed knowledge. We will develop axiomatic systems for eventual common knowledge and study its meta-logical properties.

Research Areas

Our research will cover two main areas:

  • Eventual common knowledge: We will investigate the mathematical and logical properties of eventual common knowledge and its relationship with task solvability.
  • Novel variants of distributed knowledge: We will develop and study an epistemic logic for simplicial sets, which is the most general form of simplicial models.
Requirements

Candidates should have a strong background in logic (computer science, mathematics) and hold a Master's or equivalent degree. We offer a stimulating research environment in an international research group and a gross salary of around 48k CHF for PhD students.

Application Procedure

Applications should include a motivation letter, a complete CV, academic transcripts, and a copy of relevant diplomas. Please send your application as a single pdf file to Prof. Thomas Studer at thomas.studer@unibe.ch
