The Department of Philosophy is one of the largest Philosophy

culture. It received a maximum 24 in the last Teaching Quality 
evaluation and in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise 65% of our 
research was rated "world class" or "internationally 
excellent" (matching the percentage of leading UK philosophy 
departments such as Oxford and Cambridge). The Department has 
distinctive strengths in aesthetics, history and philosophy of 
science, metaphysics, and moral philosophy.

The ‘Area of Specialisation’ for this position is open, within 
Philosophy. Potential candidates are strongly advised to consult the 
department’s website for details of its research and teaching 
programmes.

The position will incorporate undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, 
some thesis supervision, and usual non-teaching duties. With a strong 
record of research publication, the successful candidate should be 
qualified to masters level or equivalent. A PhD prior to application 
and teaching experience are strongly preferred for a Lectureship and
