Lectureship in Philosophy
University of Southampton - School of Humanities
£29,853 - £33,600 per annum

Following our recent appointments of two new Lecturers, we seek to appoint a third Lecturer in Philosophy, to join a lively, committed group of researchers and teachers. Southampton has distinctive research strengths in several areas of the subject, including philosophical aesthetics and 19th Century German philosophy, and an ability to complement one of these may be an advantage, although it is not essential.

You will show outstanding potential as a philosopher, be enthusiastic and flexible in contributing to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and be able to produce published work of a high quality in preparation for future research assessments and to apply for external funding. In addition you should also be keen to participate fully in the intellectual and academic activities of a group which prizes collegiality and breadth of interest very highly.

Informal enquiries may be made to Professor Aaron Ridley (amr3 [__at__] soton [dot] ac [dot] uk).

It is hoped that the successful candidate will be able to take up the post in January 2011.

The closing date for applications is 16 September 2010 at 12.00 noon.

It is anticipated that interviews will take place during the week beginning 04 October 2010.
