Faculty (EXPIRED)

Azim Premji University has a clear purpose – to make significant contributions towards a just, equitable, humane and sustainable society. The University attempts to do this through the development of talent and the creation of knowledge which can facilitate improvement in education and allied development areas.

We invite academicians and field practitioners who resonate with the purpose of the University and enjoy working in teams, to join us as Faculty Members in the area of Philosophy of Education.

The University has a strong interest and focus in philosophy of education without, however, excluding issues of general philosophy. Our interest is in the body of knowledge concerning education that philosophers have built over centuries, including methods of philosophical investigation. We aim to acquaint our students with this body of philosophical knowledge but emphasise more the disposition to enquire into meaning, justification, assumptions and implications of educational ideas.

Scholars we are looking for should have a deep knowledge of some area of philosophical enquiry, a disposition to engage in examination of ideas with an open mind, a willingness to employ their philosophical knowledge and capabilities in the study of education, and an interest in teaching and helping students become good philosophers of education.
