Two Stipendiary Lectureships in Philosophy University of Oxford http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AYM088/two-stipendiary-lectureships-in-philosophy/ Salary: £15,197 to £17,092 (depending on experience) Hours: Part Time Contract Type: Fixed-Term/Contract Closes: 3rd May 2017

Applications are invited for two Stipendiary Lectureships in Philosophy, tenable for 12 months from 1 September 2017 to 31 August 2018. These posts have been created to replace (a) Professor Arntzenius's college duties following his retirement, pending the appointment of a permanent replacement with effect from October 2018, and (b) Professor Child's college duties during a fixed period of sabbatical leave, and are non-renewable.

Each appointee will be required to provide seven hours of tutorials for the College per week, averaged over three eight-week terms, and to participate in the annual undergraduate admissions process, pastoral care of students and the administration of the subject in the college, including marking college examinations.

We expect the two appointees between them to cover all the following subjects, although no single candidate will be expected to cover all of these areas. The two appointments will be made in the light of that requirement:

Logic, General Philosophy, and Moral Philosophy, for first-year students.

Knowledge and Reality, and Ethics, for second-year students.

In addition, each appointee must be able to offer one or more other subjects from the list of options available to second-year, third-year, and fourth-year students. It might be an advantage to be able to teach Ancient Philosophy (preferably in Greek). The College has teaching needs in Plato's Meno and Euthyphro; Plato's Republic; Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics.

The stipend will be in the range £15,197-£17,092 (depending on experience) plus a number of college benefits. The further particulars and application form can be downloaded from http://www.univ.ox.ac.uk, where further details about University College and the courses offered are also available.

The closing date for applications and the last date for receipt of references direct from referees is 12 noon (UK time) on Wednesday 3 May 2017.

Interviews are expected to take place during the week commencing 15 May 2017.

Please note that this post would not entitle the successful applicant to apply for a Tier 2 UK Visa, and thus any applicant should ensure that they have the legal right to work in the UK for the period of the lectureship.

University College is an equal opportunities employer. Applications are particularly welcome from women and black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford.

Applications must be received before 3 May, 2017
