Jobs In Philosophy
We are offering five new posts for staff at the IDEA Centre, to join our team in making a major impact through innovation in ethics learning, teaching, research and consultancy.
We are looking for academics with a strong grounding in ethics, with a commitment to fostering the development of ethical understanding and reasoning skills inside and outside academia.
Four of the positions can be found below:
Lecturer (Teaching and Scholarship) in Applied and Interdisciplinary Ethics (3 posts) - Fixed term positions [LINK]
Lecturer (Teaching and Scholarship) and Digital Education Specialist in Applied and Interdisciplinary Ethics - Permanent position [LINK]
The IDEA Centre also now has a vacancy for a Lecturer (T&S) and Consultant in Applied Ethics, a role for a philosopher with interests in applied ethics, and skills both in student education and in external consultancy - i.e. in delivering philosophically-informed ethics advisory services and ethics training to businesses, professional bodies and other organisations. Given the late timing with which the vacancy has arisen, the term for this role is initially 1 year.* Candidates for the roles of "Lecturer (T&S) in Applied Ethics" and "Lecturer (T&S) in Applied Ethics and Digital Learning Specialist" may, if they are willing, be considered for the role of Lecturer and Consultant. Applicants are invited simply to indicate on their application whether they wish to be considered for this role, as well as for those for which they are formally applying.

Call for Post-doctorial Fellow for Project “Philosophy in Action”
National Institute of Advanced Studies, Bangalore
National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS) was conceived and founded in 1988 by the late Mr. J. R. D. Tata, who sought to create an institution to conduct advanced multidisciplinary research. Housed in a picturesque green campus in Bangalore the Institute serves as a forum to bring together individuals from diverse intellectual backgrounds, in the natural and life sciences, humanities, social sciences, and conflict and security studies. The philosophy underlying NIAS is given shape by its multidisciplinary research teams. The Institute is unique in its integrated approach to the study of intersections between science and technology, philosophy, social issues and leadership. The objective is to nurture a broad base of scholars, managers and leaders who would respond to the complex challenges that face contemporary India and global society, with insight, sensitivity, confidence and dedication. For more details: www.nias.res.in
Philosophy as an idea as well as a discipline in NIAS has a long history, right from its inception. Through the initiative of a project titled “Philosophy in Action: Creating Public Citizenship”, supported by the Tata Trusts, the Philosophy Programme has continued this tradition of making philosophy meaningful to the society. This project is an effort to create public resources for philosophy, intervene in teaching philosophy right from schools to the larger public, create online resources which will enable easy access to both Indian and contemporary philosophy, publish books in philosophy for children and general readership, and so on.
Applications are invited for a full time post-doctoral fellowship based at NIAS as part of the project "Philosophy in Action: Creating public citizenship" (supported by the Tata Trusts) under Prof. Sundar Sarukkai.
The selected candidate will have to work towards the objectives of the project, which include creating resources for public access to philosophy through books, workshops, website and other online forums, and teaching in different fora such as schools and colleges. The postdoctoral fellow will also be expected to work on her/his individual research work. The fellowship is for a period of one year, extendable to the second year following evaluation at the end of the first year.
Students who have a PhD in Philosophy, Humanities or Social Sciences can apply. For students with a non-philosophy degree, their PhD work must have drawn on philosophy extensively.
Mode of Application:
Interested applicants should submit their curriculum vitae electronically along with the following documents:-
1. Covering letter
2. Statement of Purpose
3. PDF copies of minimally 2 publications/writing samples
4. Name, address and email ID of four referees
