The University of Agder invites applications for a full-time permanent position as Professor/Associate Professor in Philosophy at the Faculty of Humanities and Education, Department of Religion, Philosophy and History. The position is currently located at the Kristiansand Campus. The starting date is 1 August 2013 or upon agreement.

The Department of Religion, Philosophy and History has 42 academic staff members and approximately 500 students enrolled in study programmes in religion, philosophy and history.

The appointee will be expected to contribute to the further development of the research activities in philosophy.

The departmental portfolio in philosophy comprises a one-year study programme in philosophy, as well as introductory courses called Examen philosophicum and Examen facultatum. The department is in the process of creating a bachelor degree study programme in philosophy. No final decision has been reached on this matter yet.

The appointee must have professorial competency in philosophy and/or a doctoral degree in philosophy or its equivalent. The appointee must have a high level of competence in philosophy and a documented expertise in contemporary philosophy of science and/or epistemology.

Should the appointee not possess such competency at the time of appointment, he/she must acquire this within a two-year period, for example through completing UiA’s course in university pedagogics.
