Jobs In Philosophy
Lecturer in Moral Philosophy (fixed term, 1 February 2011 – 31 January 2012)
Applicants should be able to display strong research potential, and should have experience of teaching in moral philosophy at undergraduate level. The person appointed will be expected to:
contribute to the Department’s teaching in moral philosophy, for the most part at undergraduate level;
begin to develop their own research;
play a full part in the active research culture of the department, and to join in collaborative research activities;
assist with departmental administration.
More specifically, we anticipate that the person appointed will be responsible for:
coordinating the 2nd year core module in Moral Theory in Spring 2011 (this module offers an introduction to the main positions in normative ethics);
coordinating an honours option for 3rd and 4th years in ethics in Autumn 2011 (our current plan is for a module in Metaethics);
supervision of undergraduate dissertations in Philosophy;
contributing a small number of lectures to team-taught first year modules;
a modest contribution, commensurate with the appointee’s experience and expertise, to postgraduate teaching or supervision.
All newly appointed lecturers have a probationary period of between one and three years, during which they carry a lighter than average teaching load and are allocated only quite modest administrative responsibilities.
It is expected that interviews for this post will take place on the morning of Wednesday 8 December. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to give a presentation to members of the Department on the previous afternoon, and will be invited to join members of the Department for dinner that evening. The presentation should take the form of a short talk (not more than thirty minutes) relating to the candidate’s current research interests, and should either deal with a specific topic, or review a current project.
The University intends to make appointment to this post from 1 February 2011. Salary will be within Grade 7 currently (£29,853-£35,646); this will be dependent on qualifications and experience.
For further information about the Department or the post, please contact Professor Peter Sullivan either by email (p [dot] m [dot] sullivan [__at__] stir [dot] ac [dot] uk) or by telephone (01786 467555).

The successful candidate will be an accomplished scholar working at the intersections of leadership and the history of ideas. The holder of the Johnson Professorship will have a record of significant scholarly publication that explores how individuals and ideas shape the course of history. Any area of historical focus in the liberal arts disciplines will be considered, including science, philosophy, religion, sociology, anthropology, history, literature, and the arts. The Johnson Professor’s scholarship should illuminate how historical circumstance, culture, and intellectual currents have framed solutions to specific challenges, and how individuals have responded to such contextual factors in ways that have advanced important fields of human endeavor. As important, the Johnson Professor will be a dedicated teacher capable of devising innovative courses that will help undergraduates both to understand the key role that ideas have played in shaping the possibilities for human action and to reflect deeply upon how individual values and actions can result in ethical, social and political leadership to one’s community and world.
This new endowed professorship is one of several university-wide initiatives funded by the Johnson Program in Leadership and Integrity. The Johnson Professor in the College will join the current Johnson Professor in Entrepreneurship and Leadership in the Williams School of Commerce, Economics and Politics.
