The Department of Philosophy at the University of Reading, UK, seeks to appoint two fixed-term (three-year), full-time lecturers, from January 2015 to December 2017.

One will be a lecturer in non-Western Philosophy, the other a lecturer in Moral Philosophy (although what they each teach for us may not be limited to these areas).

The successful applicants will each have a PhD in philosophy or a closely related discipline. In each case s/he will be able to provide high quality teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate level.

The successful applicants will also contribute to the supervision of undergraduate dissertations within their fields of expertise. (Further details of 2014-15 modules are available via the department's website: http://www.reading.ac.uk/module/module.aspx?sacyr=1415&school=HUM Philosophy modules are ones begin whose codes begin with 'PP').

The successful applicants will also take on significant administrative responsibilities (Admissions & Recruitment Officer, Schools Liaison, Careers & Alumni Officer, widening participation remit, etc.).
