Applications are invited for a permanent Lecturer in Philosophy to start employment on September 1 2009 (Lecturer A or Lecturer B, depending on experience). Appointment to Lecturer A would be on UCL Grade 7 within the salary range of £32,458 - £35,469 per annum (plus London Allowance of £2,781 per annum). Appointment to Lecturer B would be on UCL Grade 8 with a salary of £36,532 per annum (plus £2,781 London Allowance per annum).

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 also 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) and to the members of the Department responsible for ESPS teaching, Professor Veronique Munoz Darde (v.munoz@ucl.ac.uk) or to Professor Sebastian Gardner (sebastian.gardner@ucl.ac.uk).

Applications should be made on the UCL application form, quoting ref PHIL2009A available at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/hr/docs/download_forms/job_app.doc.

Applications (including all letters of reference) must be sent by email to Richard Edwards at richard.edwards@ucl.ac.uk. Further particulars are available on the philosophy website at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/philosophy.
