2008 Research Assessment Exercise 65% of our research was rated "world class" or "internationally
excellent" (matching the percentage of leading UK philosophy departments such as Oxford and
Cambridge). The Department has distinctive strengths in aesthetics, history and philosophy of
science, metaphysics, and moral philosophy.
The 'Area of Specialisation' for this position is open, within Philosophy. Potential candidates are
strongly advised to consult the department's website for details of its research and teaching
programmes.
