Substitute lecturer (EXPIRED)

SUBSTITUTE LECTURER IN PHILOSOPHY (Aug – Dec 2013)

The Division of Philosophy at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH, Stockholm Sweden) seeks a substitute lecturer in philosophy for the period Aug 15 – Dec 31, 2013.

The main teaching duties will be in an already established course in the philosophy and methodology of science. The course, which is given twice every term, is given in English and is mainly directed at engineering and science students at master and PhD- level. Roughly 600 students take the course every year, and there is presently a team of three senior lecturers and six teaching assistants working on the course. The position for substitute lecturer will involve giving lectures on the philosophy and
methodology of science including (but not exclusively) the philosophy of the social sciences, and holding seminars in which articles from the engineering sciences (broadly conceived) are critically evaluated. Teaching load is approximately 50% (2 courses), remaining time for research.

We seek someone with a PhD in philosophy who has experience in teaching philosophy of science.

Please send a notification of interest (including a CV and a specification of research and teaching experience) by June 11 to:
