Birmingham Philosophy Department is in a period of marked expansion and the University of Birmingham is investing significantly in Philosophy. Birmingham is already well-established as a UK department and known as being internationally excellent in a number of areas. The current expansion aims to build upon current strengths and develop new ones. The aim is for Birmingham to become one of the foremost philosophy departments in the UK for research, graduate supervision and undergraduate teaching. In order to achieve this goal a number of staff have already been appointed or are in the process of being appointed at the levels of Professor, Lecturer and Birmingham Fellow. To these already strong appointments we also wish to appoint a lecturer in ethics and two further posts which are open rank and open-specialty.

The University sees Birmingham Philosophy Department as central to its ambition to enhance its global profile over the next five years and it invites applications from world-leading scholars who share this ambition. The department currently has staff who are actively engaged across the philosophical spectrum and applications from all areas of the discipline are welcomed. The department seeks applications from academics at all levels, and will judge these according to academic merit. At junior levels research excellence, innovation and commitment to the ambitions of the department and University will be essential and at senior levels significant contributions to the discipline in terms of agenda-setting publications and an outstanding track record of scholarship, supervision and leadership will be important.
