The Philosophy Department at Macquarie University invites Ph.D
applications for 2001.
All Ph.D students have shared office space, computer, phone, mailbox,
and funds for photocopying and fax. In addition, students on Australian
Postgraduate Award scholarships are entitled to an additional $1500 for
conference attendance, travel, research materials, and books; and are
eligible to apply for further annual funds up to $2500 from the
University Postgraduate Research Fund. There are also plenty of teaching
opportunities for Ph.D students each year. The department runs an active
postgraduate research workshop programme, as well as hosting 18-20
visiting national and international speakers annually. For the current
seminar series program see
http://www.phil.mq.edu.au/seminars.htm
The department has particular current research strengths in logic,
philosophy of mind and cognitive science, modern European philosophy,
and ethics. We specifically encourage creative interaction between
philosophical traditions, and there are strong interdisciplinary ties
with a number of disciplines, notably with the Macquarie Centre for
Cognitive Science (MACCS). Current teaching and postdoctoral staff are
Robyn Ferrell, Simon Lumsden, Catriona Mackenzie, David Macarthur, Peter
Menzies, Daniel Nolan, Greg Restall, Nick Smith, John Sutton, and
Caroline West; and associated fellows include Max Deutscher, Genevieve
Lloyd, and Ross Poole. For details on staff and research interests see

Australian Postgraduate Awards and the Macquarie University Postgraduate
Awards schemes is 31 October 2000. For scholarships information see
