For informal enquiries about the position, please contact Johannes Stern ([email protected]) Project/Job description: The Truth and Semantics (TRUST) ERC Starting Grant project aims to provide a unified perspective on natural language semantics, conceived of as truth-conditional semantics, and the research on the so-called semantic paradoxes in form of theories of self-applicable truth. The project consists of two interrelated parts. The first part, Truth in Semantics, aims at developing semantic accounts for rich fragments of natural language, that is, fragments in which, besides a self-applicable notion of truth, we allow for, e.g., modal expressions, propositional attitudes but also natural language conditionals. The second part, Truth and the Foundations of Semantics, assumes a metasemantic perspective and explores the role of the notion of truth in the foundations of natural language semantics, conceived of as truth-conditional semantics. The Research Associate is expected to conduct research on the second part of the project project and, more generally, explore the role of self-referential sentences in truth-conditional semantics and its foundations. They should have a research profile formal semantics and the philosophy of language but should also possess a strong background in logic. The main tasks are to produce peer-reviewed scientific articles and other project outputs, and participate in organising the project’s events.
