About you. You will hold a PhD in philosophy, with clear evidence of specialism in political philosophy. You will demonstrate evidence of excellence in philosophical research. You will have experience of teaching, supervision and administration in a higher education setting.

As London’s Global University, we are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where all belong. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates whose backgrounds are typically underrepresented in philosophy.

About us. UCL's Department of Philosophy is one of the leading departments in the UK. In the 2021 REF, 60% of our overall profile received the top grade (4*), the highest of any UK philosophy department. We offer several undergraduate degree programmes, a taught master’s, and prestigious research master’s and PhD programmes.

The Department of EISPS runs three four-year interdepartmental, multidisciplinary undergraduate programmes and admits a number of exchange students annually. Its programmes combine specialisation in one of nine humanities and social sciences, with a broad base in history, law, politics and philosophy, fluency in a foreign language, and a year spent at a university abroad.
