Looks like there is a project down in Florida which is going to be doing some serious research into the topic of free will. There are positions for theological academics to do some work on free-will. Hopefully the Open View is taken into consideration in the theological/philosophical side of the research. It would be a shame if the language never moves beyond the Calvinist-Arminianist position.

The project will also be doing some neuroscience research. It will be interesting to see the results from this. Unfortunately, the results are still 3/4 years away.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for posting this. It looks like a great opportunity. Alfred Mele, the director of the project, is a top-notch philosopher and would be a good guy to work with. If I don't land a permanent job this year (as is looking increasingly likely, sigh) I plan to apply for this. We'll see what happens.

Hey Allen,

I'm sorry to hear that you're having job problems. For what it's worth, I'm a fan of your work :-) I actually used the hexagon of opposition that you, Greg, and Tom laid out in a paper in one of my philosophy classes just the other day. Good luck, and you'll have my prayers.

Hey, me too, Alan—I'm a fan of your work, though I don't understand a blasted bit of it!!

May you listen to His voice, though, as you seek for wisdom and leading regarding your situation.
