The University of Lincoln is seeking to appoint a full-time Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Philosophy. The post holder will contribute teaching, research, and public-impact in the field of philosophy. We are particularly interested in applicants able to teach across the fields of epistemology, metaphysics and philosophy of mind.

The successful candidate will present an outstanding research profile, in both experience to date and in future potential, in their chosen area of philosophy, relative to career stage.

We currently have undergraduate students in the first and second years of study on our BA degree and have plans to introduce a taught MA programme in the near future. The successful applicant will be able to make a significant contribution to the growth and development of Philosophy at Lincoln, both in terms of curriculum development and enhancing our existing research profile.

The School offers a friendly and welcoming working environment. There is a strong collaborative research culture with regular seminars, a lively philosophy visiting speaker programme, and ongoing support for research activity, including funding for conference activities.
