--------Message 1 of 2: KLI Fellowships -
Correction---------
KLI Scholarships Available
The Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition
Research (KLI) in Altenberg/Vienna (Austria) invites applications
to two of its scholarship programs: the KLI Postdoctoral Grant
program and the KLI Visiting Scholarship program.
The KLI is a private, non.profit institution which primarily
supports theoretical research in evolutionary developmental biology
as well as in evolutionary cognitive science. The KLI also runs
a small animal facility for selected empirical projects in evolution
and cognition research.
Candidates for Postdoctoral Grants must have received
their Ph.D. or equivalent within the previous five years; substantial
publications are required at the time of application.
Postdoctoral grants run for one year, extendable for a second year
pending review. Postdoctoral Grants are to be used for
subsistence, travel, and other costs related to conducting research
at the KLI.
Candidates for Visiting Scholarships should have advanced
degrees in one or more disciplines relevant to their research and
show evidence of substantial scholarly accomplishment and/or
professional experience in the areas they propose to work in.
They may apply for visits whose duration ranges from one week to
several months, and which are renewable at the discretion of the KLI
Board of Directors. Visiting Scholarships cover travel and
nearby accommodation provided by the Institute.
Both Postdoctoral and Visiting Scholars are expected to work at
the Institute, which is located in the Lorenz mansion outside of
Vienna, and to actively participate in the seminars, round table
discussions, workshops, and other activities organized by the
Institute.
The next application deadline for both categories is December
15, 2001. At this time, the KLI will favor applications of
an interdisciplinary nature related to theoretical evolutionary and
developmental biology.
Interested scholars from all nationalities are invited to send
short descriptions of their intended research along with their
curriculum vitae (in English) to the Scientific Manager of the KLI:
Prof. Dr. Werner Callebaut, Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and
Cognition Research, Adolf-Lorenz-Gasse 2, A-3422 Altenberg, Austria;
fax +43 2242 32 390 4; e-mail
<

They may then be asked to submit a formal application and a more
detailed project description. All formal project proposals will
be externally reviewed.
Fellowship recipients will be
announced in March 2002.

Evolution"---------
Call for Papers
The New England Institute for Cognitive Science and
Evolutionary Psychology (NEI) invites papers for an historic
international conference on "Unconscious Cognition and
Evolution".
The notion of unconscious mental events has been discussed and
debated for at least the past two hundred years, with no resolution.
The conference will explore the many contentious issues and problems
surrounding the concept of unconscious mental processes from a
variety of disciplinary perspectives and methodologies, including but
not confined to the biology of self-deception, language
processes, unconscious social cognition, the philosophical status of
the unconscious, the role of affect, and neuroscientific findings.
Conference papers will be published in the journal Theoria et
Historia Scientiarum.
The conference is to be held August 23-24, 2002, at the
University of New England, Portland, Maine. Papers should explore
some aspect of unconscious cognition and its evolutionary bases or
directly related processes.
Proposals should be received no later than March 1st
2002.
Send detailed proposals along with a brief bio to either Dr.
David L. Smith, or Dr. Robert E. Haskell, NEI, University of New
England, 11 Hills Beach Road, Biddeford, Maine 04005, USA.
