Postdoctoral Fellowships & Senior Research Fellowships in Philosophy (Global Priorities), Oxford (England)

Deadline: Wednesday 10 November 2021

The Global Priorities Institute <https://globalprioritiesinstitute.org/> (GPI) at the University of Oxford - part of the Faculty of Philosophy - is currently advertising four-year postdoc positions (Postdoctoral Fellowships and Senior Research Fellowships) in Philosophy.

The central focus of GPI is what we call 'global priorities research', which centres on the question 'What should we do with a given unit of resources if our aim is to do the most good?' We are particularly interested in hiring specialists in moral philosophy and/or decision theory. For current graduate students, postdocs at GPI are a great way to launch an academic career. Team-based and individual research on global priorities topics is combined with substantial freedom to pursue one's own unrelated projects, there is plenty of funding for infrastructure and travel, and the Institute takes support for career development very seriously. GPI is as yet too young to have an established placement record, but we confidently expect GPI postdocs to go on to tenure-track positions in the very best research universities.
