WORCESTER COLLEGE, OXFORD  

Fixed-Term Tutorial Fellowship in Philosophy

Applications for this post are particularly welcome from women, and black and ethnic minority candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford. The College is an equal opportunities employer.

Worcester College proposes to appoint a fixed-term Tutorial Fellow in Philosophy from 1st October 2015. The election to the Fellowship will be for four years, and is subject to satisfactory completion of a one-year probationary period.

The successful applicant will have a high standard of research and teaching ability and will be required to teach elementary logic and introductory epistemology and metaphysics. Other subjects will depend upon the areas of specialisation and competence of the person appointed; but ability to teach one or more of introductory philosophy of mathematics (including Frege’s Grundlagen), the philosophy of logic and language, the philosophy of mathematics, knowledge and reality, the philosophy of religion, early modern philosophy, and the philosophy of mind would be an advantage.

For details of these subjects as taught in Oxford, please refer to the Faculty of Philosophy web site (www.philosophy.ox.ac.uk/undergraduate/course_descriptions). The Fellowship will carry full tutorial responsibility, and the appointee will be required to assist with the administration of undergraduate studies in philosophy in all its joint courses at Worcester College, including participation in the admissions process and undertaking the pastoral care of students.

The Fellowship is a fixed-term career development position specifically intended to provide a time-limited period of development for an academic at any stage of their career. The College will arrange a mentor for the Fellow. Although the Fellow will not be required to undertake examining or lecturing for the Faculty of Philosophy, it may be possible for the Fellow to undertake such duties if this is agreed by the Fellow, the College and the Faculty. The Fellow will be permitted to take one term’s research leave in the 3rd or 4th year of the appointment; the particular term to be taken as leave will be determined by agreement with the College.

The Fellow will receive a stipend in the range of £27,864-£33,242 per annum (revised annually) and will have access to certain travel and research funds.  The Fellow is entitled to free accommodation if available (but will be responsible for Council taxes and utility bills) or a housing allowance, currently £7,233p.a., and to free meals in the College when the kitchens are open as a member of the Senior Common Room.

Further particulars and an Application Form may be obtained from www.worc.ox.ac.uk/jobs or from the Academic Administrator at Worcester College, Mrs Rhian Perridge ([email protected]), to whom queries about the application process should be addressed. Candidates who wish to speak to someone about any aspect of the post may contact the Senior Philosophy Tutor at Worcester College, Dr Michail Peramatzis (michail.[email protected]), or the Senior Tutor at Worcester College, Professor Tony Blakeborough ([email protected]).

Applicants should complete an Application Form and send it with a covering letter which should include a summary of teaching experience and research record and plans, and a curriculum vitae (including a list of publications), together with the names and addresses of two referees, to the Academic Administrator on [email protected] by noon on Friday the 27th February 2015. Applicants should send their referees a copy of these further particulars and arrange for references to be sent to the Academic Administrator by the closing date.
