© University College

Applications are invited for two Stipendiary Lectureships in Philosophy, tenable for 12 months from 1 September 2017 to 31 August 2018.

Each appointee will be required to provide seven hours of tutorials for the College per week, averaged over three eight-week terms, and to participate in the annual undergraduate admissions process, pastoral care of students and the administration of the subject in the college, including marking college examinations.

We expect the two appointees between them to cover all the following subjects, although no single candidate will be expected to cover all of these areas. The two appointments will be made in the light of that requirement:

1 Logic, General Philosophy, and Moral Philosophy, for first-year students.

2 Knowledge and Reality, and Ethics, for second-year students.

In addition, each appointee must be able to offer one or more other subjects from the list of options available to second-year, third-year, and fourth-year students. It might be an advantage to be able to teach Ancient Philosophy (preferably in Greek). The College has teaching needs in Plato's Meno and Euthyphro; Plato's Republic; Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics.

Further details about the posts and how to apply are available on the Univ website.
