The Department of Philosophy at the University of Birmingham invites applications from candidates with any area of specialisation in Philosophy. The appointment may be made at either Lecturer or Senior Lecturer level.

You will be joining one of the strongest Philosophy departments in the UK, committed to outstanding research outputs and grant capture and working towards an excellent REF submission (having been 2nd on GPA in 2014).

The applicant for this post, or the concurrently advertised position as Chair/Reader in Philosophy, will be the Director of the Department’s new ‘Centre for Nature and Norms’. This will foster world-leading philosophical research, building on key areas of Departmental strength (e.g., philosophy of mind and psychology, ethics, epistemology, metaphysics, logic, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of science, philosophy of language, and philosophy of religion).
