Balliol College, Oxford, and the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Oxford, propose, if a suitable candidate applies, to appoint to an Official (Tutorial) Fellowship in Philosophy, in association with an Associate Professorship (or Professorship) in Philosophy, with effect from 1 September 2016.

Pay will be on the scale £45,066-£60,513 p.a., and additional allowances (including a taxable and pensionable College housing allowance, currently £5,465 p.a.) are available. Candidates should normally have received the degree of PhD: candidates who do not meet this requirement may be considered if they have attained a comparable level of publication.

The successful candidate will have a record of original, important, and rigorous published research in Philosophy, or evidence of potential to publish research of this quality. She/He must also have evidence of excellence, or of the potential for excellence, in undergraduate and graduate teaching and the ability to undertake pastoral responsibilities for both groups of students.
