Evaluation criteria 
Research and educational expertise in the area of philosophy, experience of administrative activities, development work and management duties, good ability to work with others as well as to interact with the surrounding community represent the evaluation criteria in the selection of the candidate.

Research expertise should have been demonstrated by independent research production. The criteria for assessing research expertise are:  

• Breadth and depth of research - quality and scope
• Originality of research
• Productivity
• Contributions to the international research community
• Assignments within the research community
• The ability to obtain external research funds in the face of competition
• Collaboration with the surrounding society

Educational expertise shall have been demonstrated through documented experience of teaching on a research basis within higher education. The criteria for assessing educational expertise are:

•  Experience of collaboration with the surrounding society in planning and implementation of education

In the assessment of the research expertise, particular importance will be given to research competence within the core areas of philosophy, in particular history of philosophy, epistemology, logic, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language and ethics, including metaethics.

A substantial part of teaching is focused on the following areas:  history of philosophy, epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mind and philosophy of language.  Teaching skills within a wide range of these areas will be considered a significant merit. 

The planning and execution of teaching and examination is largely carried out in teams of lecturers. It is therefore important that the candidate have a good ability to work with others.
