10/15/2014

 
The Department of Philosophy at the University of Reading seeks to appoint two fixed-term, full-time lecturers, from January 2015 to December 2017.

One will be a lecturer in non-Western Philosophy, the other a lecturer in Moral Philosophy (although what they each teach for us may not be limited to these areas).

The successful applicants will each have a PhD in philosophy or a closely related discipline. In each case s/he will be able to provide high quality teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate level.

For the moral philosophy post, teaching duties will involve contributions to our modules in Moral Philosophy (year 2), and Contemporary Moral Theory (year 3), among others.

For the post in non-Western philosophy, teaching duties will include the development and convening of at least one module in non-Western philosophy (e.g. Arabic, Islamic, Chinese or Indian philosophy), and contributions to our first-year module Human Nature.

The successful applicants will also contribute to the supervision of undergraduate dissertations within their fields of expertise. (Further details of 2014-15 modules are available via the department’s website: http://www.reading.ac.uk/module/module.aspx?sacyr=1415&school=HUM Philosophy modules are ones begin whose codes begin with ‘PP’).

The successful applicants will also take on significant administrative responsibilities (Admissions & Recruitment Officer, Schools Liaison, Careers & Alumni Officer, etc.).

Applications from women and black and minority ethnic candidates are particularly welcome.
