Are you an academic with proven abilities to carry out teaching and research in Moral or Political Philosophy?

Would you like to join and contribute to a vibrant philosophical community within the interdisciplinary School of Philosophy, Religion and History of Science?

As Lecturer, you will be an active researcher specialising in Moral or Political Philosophy, producing high-quality publications and contributing to the overall research environment of the School.

Given our current strengths, we are particularly interested in candidates specialising in normative ethics, moral psychology, or political philosophy.

The School of Philosophy, Religion and History of Science values an inclusive working and teaching environment and our aim is to develop a diverse staff and student community reflective of this. We select candidates on the basis of merit and ability and aspire to further diversify our School and Faculty community. We particularly welcome applications from candidates belonging to groups that have been under-represented in the University, including but not limited to: people who identify as Black, Asian or with other non-white ethnic groups, people who identify as LGBTQ+, and disabled people.
