[Jason Grossman]

The Sydney Centre for the Foundations of Science is the University of  
Sydney’s new interdisciplinary research centre, established to foster  
collaborations between humanities researchers and scientists. The  
centre will be officially opened on July 31st 2008. Further  
information will available following the opening at: http:// 
www.arts.usyd.edu.au/school/sophi/studies/centres.shtml

The Departments of Philosophy and History and the Unit for the  
History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Sydney contain  
by far Australia’s largest concentration of scholars in the history  
and philosophy of science and medicine. The Sydney Centre for the  
Foundations of Science brings this outstanding group of scholars  
together and is an ideal location for graduate study at the  
intersection of science and the humanities.

Members of the Department of Philosophy and the Sydney Centre for the  
Foundations of Science hold major research grants in the areas of  
philosophy of biology, decision theory, philosophy of language, and  
philosophy of physics. Extra funding of up to $7000 per annum (tax  
free) on top of the usual PhD Scholarships is available for selected  
students working on suitable projects in these areas. Potential  
students should contact a staff member with relevant interests:
