----------------------------------------- Please distribute to potential candidates ----------------------------------------- The Department of Computer Science of the University of Leicester offers a PhD studentship (GTA). The GTA scheme involves some teaching and runs for 4 years. Unfortunately, the university waives the fees only for EU nationals. The PhD student will join Nick Bezhanishvili and myself in our current work on "Coalgebras, Modal Logic, and Stone Duality". Colleagues in Leicester working on related topics include Roy Crole, Reiko Heckel, Vincent Schmitt, Emilio Tuosto, and Fer-Jan de Vries. Moreover, there will be close collaboration with the logic groups at the University of Amsterdam (in particular with the VICI-project directed by Yde Venema at ILLC) and at the University of Oxford (Hilary Priestley, Alexandru Baltag). For more information on the topic see http://www.cs.le.ac.uk/people/akurz/ The official announcement and application form is available at (Ref S2995) http://www.le.ac.uk/personnel/supportjobs/index.html The applications should be submitted no later than 20 October 2006. If you have any questions please send me an email. Best wishes, Alexander
