Wednesday 22nd February: DIAS General Interest Seminar – ‘Recent Trends in the Philosophy of Science’

Title: Recent Trends in the Philosophy of Science

Speaker: Dr Finnur Dellsén (University College Dublin)

Abstract: Many working scientists are familiar with Karl Popper’s vision of science as the concerted effort to falsify extent theories and replace them with new theories that make bold predictions about unobserved events. Popper’s ideas have been less influential among philosophers of science, due to a number of arguably devastating problems with his underlying approach. This talk will survey some of the more influential criticisms of Popper, and go on to discuss two other influential ways of thinking about science, viz. Thomas Kuhn’s idea of ‘paradigms’ as the basic unit of real scientific change, and the ‘Bayesian’ idea of scientific confirmation as grounded in subjective probability-assignments.

Time: Wednesday 22nd February 2017, 4.00pm.

Place: Lecture Room, School of Theoretical Physics, DIAS, 10 Burlington Road, Dublin 4.

COMHALTACHT UÍ AIMHIRGÍN

Is mian le hInstitiúid Ard-Léinn Bhaile Átha Cliath taighdeoir ardchumasach atá i dtús a réime agus a bhfuil geallúint faoi/fúithi a cheapadh i 2017 faoi scéim Comhaltachtaí Uí Aimhirgín i Scoil an Léinn Cheiltigh. Beidh an post ar fáil 1 Meitheamh.

Is cóir d’iarrthóirí an chéim PhD a bheith bainte amach acu, agus taithí d’ardcháilíocht a bheith acu i mbun taighde ar ghné den Léann Ceilteach a bhaineann le raon saothair na Scoile. Is féidir le hiarrthóirí ar mian leo an folúntas a phlé teagmháil a dhéanamh le Stiúrthóir na Scoile.

Institiúid neamhspleách reachtúil taighde a bunaíodh sa mbliain 1940 is ea Institiúid Ard-Léinn Bhaile Átha Cliath. Trí scoil atá inti ina ndéantar taighde bunaidh ar an Léann Ceilteach, an Fhisic Theoraiceach agus an Fhisic Chosmach. Tá an Institiúid maoinithe ag an Roinn Oideachais agus Scileanna agus is di a thuairiscíonn sí.

Aidhm na Comhaltachta.

Tá aidhm dhúbailte ag an scéim seo. Ar thaobh amháin, postanna meán-téarmacha atá maoinithe go sách maith i dtimpeallacht thaighde den scoth a sholáthar do thaighdeoirí a bhfuil gealladh fúthu chun go bhféadfaidh siad forbairt a dhéanamh ar a n-obair acadúil. Ar an dtaobh eile, cur le cláracha taighde na hInstitiúide trí dhaoine agus smaointe nua a thabhairt isteach go rialta.
Is i gcuimhne ar Osborn Ó hAimhirgín, céadstiúrthóir Scoil an Léinn Cheiltigh agus duine de phríomhscoláirí Gaeilge a linne, a ainmníodh an chomhaltacht.

Intofacht.

Ba cheart go mbeadh taithí mhaith ag iarrthóirí ar thaighde ábhartha agus céim PhD (nó céim i gcothrom léi) a bheith bainte amach acu.

Critéir Roghnaithe.

Cáilíocht thaighde an iarrthóra agus an gealladh atá faoi/fúithi.
Cáilíocht an togra taighde, ar chóir dó a bheith ag teacht leis an taighde a bhíonn ar siúl sa Scoil.

Áiseanna Tacaíochta Taighde.

Beidh teacht ag comhaltaí ar áiseanna taighde na Scoile. Chomh maith leis sin beidh siad in ann liúntas taistil cuí a fháil nuair a bhíonn airgead ann chuige sin.

Dualgaisí.

Ní mór do chomhaltaí a gcuid ama a chaitheamh ar thaighde i gcomhairle le Stiúrthóir na Scoile agus páirt iomlán a ghlacadh i saol na Scoile. Caithfidh comhaltaí tuarascáil in aghaidh na bliana a chur faoi bhráid an Stiúrthóra, ina gcuirfear síos ar an dul chun cinn atá déanta acu go dtí sin agus ina leagfar amach plean oibre don bhliain ina dhiaidh.
Ba chóir dóibh a bheith i láthair ag léachtaí agus seimineáir a eagraíonn an Scoil agus cur le clár foilsithe na Scoile. Ní mór dóibh sraith de sheimineáir bainteach lena dtionscnamh taighde a thabhairt ag stáitse nach deireanaí ná an tríú bliain den Chomhaltacht. B’fhéidir go n-iarrfaí orthu cabhrú le hiarratais ar mhaoiniú a chur le chéile, agus cuidiú le tionscnaimh thaighde na Scoile.

Coinníollacha Ceapacháin.

Ceapfar comhaltaí ar bhonn conradh spriocthéarma suas go 5 bliana. Is mar thréimhse phromhaidh a bheidh an chéad bhliain.
Is é scála an tuarastail:
€50,855, €52,748,€54,743, €56,640 (Scála Ranníocaíochtaí Pinsean Pearsanta),
€48,312, €50,111, €52,006, €53,808 (Scála Caighdeánach)
Ceapfar comhaltaí ag an íosphointe.

Iarratais.

Ba cheart d’ iarrthóirí achoimre (nach faide ná 4 leathanach) dá dtogra taighde, curriculum vitae agus ainmneacha triúr moltóirí a chur go dtí:

Oifig an Chláraitheora, 10 Bóthar Burlington, Baile Átha Cliath 4,
nó go dtí an seoladh ríomhphoist registrarsoffice@admin.dias.ie.

Is é 17 Feabhra 2017 an sprioclá d’iarratais.
