St John's College Oxford is currently advertising for CDRF (analogous to a JRF) in CS. This is a great opportunity: basically to be a postdoc on your own project rather than someone else's. sjc.ox.ac.uk/discover/vacanc…

E.g., should the string diagrammatists be reading more Peirce, or should the @symbolica people be reading Ernst Cassirer? Here's the link to attend online: teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup…
