Lecturer in Moral Philosophy (fixed term, 1 February 2011 – 31 January 2012)

Applicants should be able to display strong research potential, and should have experience of teaching in moral philosophy at undergraduate level. The person appointed will be expected to:

contribute to the Department’s teaching in moral philosophy, for the most part at undergraduate level;
begin to develop their own research;
play a full part in the active research culture of the department, and to join in collaborative research activities;
assist with departmental administration.

More specifically, we anticipate that the person appointed will be responsible for:

coordinating the 2nd year core module in Moral Theory in Spring 2011 (this module offers an introduction to the main positions in normative ethics);
coordinating an honours option for 3rd and 4th years in ethics in Autumn 2011 (our current plan is for a module in Metaethics);
supervision of undergraduate dissertations in Philosophy;
contributing a small number of lectures to team-taught first year modules;
a modest contribution, commensurate with the appointee’s experience and expertise, to postgraduate teaching or supervision.

All newly appointed lecturers have a probationary period of between one and three years, during which they carry a lighter than average teaching load and are allocated only quite modest administrative responsibilities.

It is expected that interviews for this post will take place on the morning of Wednesday 8 December. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to give a presentation to members of the Department on the previous afternoon, and will be invited to join members of the Department for dinner that evening. The presentation should take the form of a short talk (not more than thirty minutes) relating to the candidate’s current research interests, and should either deal with a specific topic, or review a current project.

The University intends to make appointment to this post from 1 February 2011. Salary will be within Grade 7 currently (£29,853-£35,646); this will be dependent on qualifications and experience.
