Job description |
The Department of Philosophy at Tilburg University seeks to appoint 2 Assistant Professors in Philosophy (0,8 – 1,0 FTE), with starting dates of approximately January 2023. Further information, as well as means of submitting applications, can be found at https://tiu.nu/20610 Profile of the candidates The candidates are also good researchers with a track record of publications (e.g., in good international journals or books with good publishers) or show the capacity to develop such a record. The candidates are expected to publish in good journals, to apply regularly for external research funding and to participate in the research activities of the Department. The candidates are open to interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration outside of their specialization. The successful candidates find it important to engage with society as a philosopher, for example by participating in public debates. Position Specifics We will appoint two assistant professors in philosophy. The AoS of positions 1 and 2 are open, but must fit the research focus, interests and responsibilities of the Department. Specifics position 1 (area of competence) The successful candidate will coordinate or be involved in teaching major courses on ethics, including business ethics, in non-philosophy Bachelor programs. The candidate will also teach courses in (business and organization) ethics, history of philosophy and/or social philosophy in the Philosophy BA or MA Programs. Thesis supervision will also be part of their tasks. Fluency in Dutch (C2) is a strong advantage for this position. Specifics position 2 (area of competence) The successful candidate will coordinate or be involved in teaching major courses on philosophy of mind and/or philosophy of science in non-philosophy Bachelor programs. The successful candidate will also teach philosophical methodology, phenomenology, epistemology, philosophy of data, and/or philosophy of language in the Master and Bachelor philosophy program. Thesis supervision will also be part of their tasks. Fluency in Dutch (C2) is a strong advantage for this position. Employment terms and conditions The positions (Dutch: UD Filosofie) include teaching (50-55%) and research responsibilities (40%) as well as management or academic citizenship tasks (5-10%). Teaching responsibilities include coordination of or participation in 4-5 courses per year at both the Bachelor and Master levels. A significant portion of these tasks involves teaching philosophy to large classes of non-philosophy students (at Bachelor level). Given the Department’s overall teaching needs, societal embeddedness, and other responsibilities, moderate proficiency in Dutch is a long-term requirement. The successful candidates are expected to be able to speak Dutch at an advanced level (B2) after 7 years (intermediate goal: A2 after 5 years). As many courses are taught in English, the candidates must have a good command of English from the start and obtain C2 level in writing and speaking in English before the contract becomes permanent. If not already acquired, successful candidates are expected to acquire a University Teaching Qualification (BKO). Tilburg University offers courses for acquiring this certification. It is welcomed if the candidates are prepared to move to (the vicinity of) Tilburg. Successful candidates must remain at least 60% of their working days in the Netherlands (as a requirement of tax and social security laws). The positions will be ranked in the Dutch university job ranking system (UFO) as assistant professor 2 (“universitair docent 2”). The starting gross salary for a full-time appointment is (minimally) € 3974,- up to (maximally) € 5439,- per month (max € 75.906,- all in per year). Following successful performance, successful candidates receive a permanent contract after 18 months. Application and Information The candidate should submit all of the following documents:
Applications must be submitted online (see https://tiu.nu/20610). The deadline for applications is 26 August, 2022. We will inform shortlisted candidates, on or before 2 September, 2022.
