Raymond Smullyan Graduate Fellowship in Logic Indiana University is committed to the study of logic as a multidisciplinary endeavor. In recognition of this, and to honor Raymond Smullyan, Emeritus Oscar R. Ewing Professor of Philosophy, the College of Arts and Sciences has established a special graduate fellowship in logic. Smullyan Fellowships are generally awarded to entering graduate students who indicate on their applications that their primary field of interest is logic or closely related to logic. Potentially, this could involve students from almost any department. In practice, it is expected that most applicants will come from the departments of Computer Science, History and Philosophy of Science, Linguistics, Mathematics, Philosophy and Psychology. The Fellowship is awarded by a committee made up of members of various departments. Students are nominated as Smullyan Fellows by their home departments at the time they are considered for admission and financial aid. Students need not apply separately, but are advised to indicate to their home departments that they would like to be considered for a Smullyan Fellowship. For 1990-91, the award is $10,000 plus a fee scholarship. Smullyan Fellows are assured of four years of support, provided that they are making satisfactory progress toward a Ph. D. in a course of studies focusing on logic. Some teaching will be required of Smullyan Fellows in their second and third years. For more information, contact Ms. Linda Harl, Graduate Secretary, Department of Philosophy, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47408, (812) 855-9503, or contact directly the department in which you might wish to study at Indiana University. Inquiries can also be directed to Prof. J. Michael Dunn or Prof. Anil Gupta, at address above and by e-mail at dunn@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu. or gupta@gold.iubacs.indiana.edu. --------------- --------------- In case you wonder why a logician from Stanford is posting this announcement, I should say that I will be joining the logicians at Indiana University next fall, with a joint position in philosophy and mathematics, and an adjunct position in computer science. They are putting me to work early. -Jon Barwise
