(1) Lecturer in Greek Philosophy. We are looking for a philosopher with
outstanding research potential, who must have ancient Greek philosophy as
one of their research and teaching specialities. The successful applicant
will be required to give lectures and seminars on Greek Philosophy and to
supervise graduate students in the subject, as well as taking on the usual
administrative jobs in the department.
(2) Lecturer in Philosophy with special responsibility for European Social
and Political Studies. We are looking for a philosopher with outstanding
research potential in any area of philosophy and/or its history. Although
all their teaching and research should be in philosophy, the successful
applicant will be required in 2010 to take over the directorship of UCL's
very successful European Social and Political Studies (ESPS) degree
programme. ESPS is a multi-disciplinary programme which has philosophy as
one of its core streams. The successful applicant will have significant
responsibilities, which will involve planning and managing ESPS, as well as
an intellectual and an academic commitment to the programme. More details
about the ESPS degree can be found at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/esps.
Candidates must have a PhD in a relevant area.
Informal inquiries about the positions may be made to Professor Tim Crane,
head of the Philosophy Department (tim.crane@ucl.ac.uk). Informal inquiries
