The Faculty of Philosophy are seeking to appoint an Associate Professor (or Professor) in Philosophy, in association with a Tutorial Fellowship at Merton College. The successful candidate will have an area of specialization in Political Philosophy, and an area of competence in Ethics. The ability to teach feminist philosophy (at undergraduate and/or graduate level), and/or the ability to teach epistemology and metaphysics tutorials to undergraduates, would be desirable, but are not essential criteria. This post is available from 1 September 2021, or as soon as possible thereafter. This is a permanent appointment (subject to initial probation).

The successful candidate will be expected to engage in advanced research within Political Philosophy, and must be able to provide research-led teaching and supervision at all levels, undergraduate and graduate. The successful candidate will also be expected to provide small-group undergraduate teaching for Merton College, in the form of tutorials, on a range of subjects within Philosophy at both introductory and advanced levels.

Candidates must demonstrate a research record in Philosophy of international standing appropriate to the stage of their career; and must have research interests in Political Philosophy, the ability to deliver excellent teaching, the ability to supervise graduate students, and a willingness to undertake administration and pastoral responsibilities on behalf of Merton College and of the University. Candidates should hold a completed doctorate, or a completed doctoral dissertation submitted for examination by the advertised closing date for this position, in Philosophy or a closely related field.

Applications are particularly welcomed from women and black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford.

The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Wednesday 31 March, 2021.  Interviews are expected to be held in late April/early May, 2021.
