Lecturer in Applied Ethics (Teaching and Research)

Are you an academic with a strong grounding in ethics who is committed to fostering the development of ethical understanding and reasoning skills, both inside and outside academia? Do you have experience of University teaching in a range of formats including face-to-face and online? Do you have enthusiasm for developing world-quality research and public engagement? Would you like to be part of a team making a major impact through innovation in ethics learning and teaching, research and consultancy?

You will design and develop high quality inter-disciplinary applied ethics teaching for students across the University of Leeds. Liaising with academics across the University you will develop and deliver applied and inter-disciplinary ethics teaching across programmes of study in a range of disciplines (such as business, chemistry, engineering, medicine and dentistry).

You will work with colleagues in IDEA to develop and deliver high-quality teaching materials across a broad range of activity: undergraduate modules and programmes across many disciplines within the University; the Centre’s Masters programmes; and (possibly) professional development activities in consultancy and training.

You will also engage in world-leading research, publishing innovative academic work such as articles and books, with a focus on applied ethics. You will be supported in widening your academic network and you will be expected to develop an enthusiasm for engaging different audiences outside of academia with your research and the work of the wider IDEA Centre. You will also be encouraged to develop an interest in impact, working with various sectors and audiences to show how your research changes the world.

You will have the ability to motivate, challenge and inspire students from a range of disciplines, professions and cultural backgrounds. You will have excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to work with a wide range of people.

In addition to the standard online application, please upload the following as separate documents:
