interaction within the department.
The successful candidate will be a scholar with
a strong, developing research profile and a commitment to delivering high
quality teaching within philosophy. The successful candidate will be expected
to have a range of interests, to be active in research publications that
strengthen or complement those in the department and to be capable of teaching
the subject to undergraduate and taught postgraduate students from a wide range
of backgrounds.
Candidates will hold a doctorate in philosophy
at the time of appointment and will be expected to show a commitment to
outstanding teaching at all levels, from first-year undergraduate teaching to
supervision of master’s degree dissertations.
