[PlanetKR] PhD/Postdoc position (Craig interpolation for explainable belief merging) at the University Koblenz

[Viorica Sofronie-Stokkermans]

A position at PhD or postdoc level in the project Explainable Belief Merging

                https://userpages.uni-koblenz.de/~sofronie/project-ebm/

is available at the University Koblenz-Landau, in the group Formal Methods and
Theoretical Computer Science led by Prof. Dr. Viorica Sofronie-Stokkermans
http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~sofronie/

The position will start as soon as possible, and will be available for 3 years.

Tasks
=====
The main goals of the research activity will be:
-  investigating and developing novel techniques, methodologies and tools
 for Craig Interpolation and for symbol elimination in extensions and
 combinations of theories,
