Exeter College proposes, if there is a suitable candidate, to appoint a Stipendiary Lecturer in Philosophy. This is a fixed-term role, tenable from 1 October 2017 until 31 March 2018, and the postholder will teach Philosophy to undergraduates.

The Lecturer will be required to undertake 96 ‘contact’ hours of tutorial or class teaching of undergraduates of the College (or, by exchange, undergraduates of other Colleges) during the period of the appointment. In addition, they will be required to set and mark College examinations, to participate fully in the undergraduate admissions process, and to participate fully in the running of Philosophy within the College.

The subjects in which the College requires teaching are as follows:

For the Preliminary Examination (first year courses):

1. Introduction to Logic; General Philosophy

   For the Final Honour School (second year and later courses):

   (2) Ethics; Knowledge and Reality

   (3) Philosophy of Religion

   (4) Early Modern Philosophy

   The successful candidate must be able to teach at least three of the four papers from groups (1) and (2).  The ability to teach additional popular papers will be a considerable advantage.

   The Lecturer will be appointed to a point on the Senior Tutors’ Committee’s Register of Approved Payments for Stipendiary Lecturers (currently £13,026 - £14,651 for the period of the appointment). In addition to salary, a range of other generous benefits are available, as set out in the Further Particulars.
