Stipendiary Lectureship in Philosophy, Oxford (England)

Hertford College proposes to appoint a Stipendiary Lecturer in Philosophy. The part-time lectureship is for a fixed term from 1 October 2016 to 30 September 2017 and is non-renewable. It can be held in conjunction with another similar appointment to the extent that this is compatible with the responsibilities of the lecturership.

The tutorial teaching load will be an average of six hours per week (mainly in pairs and small classes) during term. In addition, the appointee will be expected to play a significant role in administration and student support (including pastoral care) in respect of degree programmes involving Philosophy at Hertford College, and is expected to be available to assist throughout the 2016 Admissions round. The successful candidate will be capable of teaching Ethics, both to first-years taking the Moral Philosophy course based on Mill?s Utilitarianism and to upper-year students taking the Ethics paper (usually as part of the PPE core). Ability to teach other first-year courses  and some popular upper-year papers  would also be desirable. S/he will be under the direction of Professor Peter Millican, Gilbert Ryle Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy.
