Some time ago the Chair of Logic, Philosophy of Science and Epistemology had an opening in formal philosophy that since then has been filled. Now, another position (leading to a permanent position upon second renewal) is available (so, there'll be three tenure-track faculty members working on formal philosophy). Here are the details:
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
Assistant Professorship (“adiunkt” in Polish terminology) in the Chair of Logic, Philosophy
of Science and Epistemology is available at the Department of Philosophy, Sociology and
Journalism, University of Gdansk, Poland. The position is to start on October 1, 2018, for a
fixed number of years with the possibility of further extensions (up to a permanent position upon second renewal).
Decisions about the exact beginning date of the contract and the number of initial years (most

The successful candidate will be expected to do research in mathematical philosophy, teach

activities of the Chair, in the life of the department, and in the administrative work as necessary.

While speaking Polish is an advantage (because of teaching obligations), English speakers
