Salary: £43,414 - £53,353 per annum
Start Date: 1 September 2023
The University
of St Andrews invites applications for a lectureship in Philosophy, within the
School of Philosophical, Anthropological and Film Studies, with a start date of
1st September 2023.
The post is intended to further strengthen our research and teaching on
current issues in Social Philosophy, particularly in gender theory and feminism.
The successful
applicant will have a growing
international research reputation evidenced by a track record of high quality
publications, or will be able to provide evidence of clear potential to produce work of this kind.
They should be able to make
connections between their research interests and areas of the subject taught by
existing members of the department (such as, but not limited to, epistemology,
metaphysics, philosophy of language, or ethical theory). They will also show a
commitment to high quality teaching at all levels, from first-year
undergraduate teaching to PhD supervision. Excellent teaching skills and an
interest in promoting knowledge exchange are essential. They will also be asked
to carry out standard academic administrative tasks, and will show a commitment
to performing these in an efficient and collegial way.
Candidates will hold a doctorate in Philosophy or a cognate
discipline. Applications from candidates who have not yet been awarded a doctorate
will be considered only where there is clear evidence that they will be awarded
the doctorate by 1st September 2023, and their application would
have to show exceptional merit in order to be competitive. Further details of
the position and the application process are given in the Further Particulars
document for the post (available from the application portal or via the link
below).
Prospective
candidates are invited to contact the Head of Department, Dr Simon Prosser (philhod@st-andrews.ac.uk),
or Dr Lisa Jones (lj14@st-andrews.ac.uk),
if they wish to enquire informally about the position.
Your application should include a brief covering letter (no more
than two pages, summarising your background and suitability for the role,
including a brief summary of your research interests, including plans
for impact (in the sense relevant to the REF), and teaching experience), and
a CV (giving details of education, career to date, publications, teaching
experience and any other information relevant to the person specification
described above). You may also include supplementary material giving evidence
of teaching ability, but please do not include writing samples or
lengthy descriptions of your research at this stage. If you wish to submit more
documents than the application portal accepts, please combine documents
together.
Applications
are particularly welcome from people from the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic
(BAME) community, and other protected characteristics who are under-represented
in academic posts at the University.

diversity and inclusion are at the heart of the St Andrews experience. We strive to create a fair and inclusive
