Mansfield College, Oxford invites applications for a Fixed-Term Stipendiary Lectureship (four hours) in Philosophy for one year from 1 October 2024 to cover teaching needs created by the buyout of the Tutorial Fellow in Philosophy, Professor Paul Lodge.
Mansfield has the highest state sector intake among Oxford colleges, and regularly surpasses the targets the University has set for widening participation and increasing social mobility in undergraduate admissions. We value diversity and difference as necessary elements of a vibrant intellectual culture. Mansfield admits 8 students a year in PPE and up to 2 each year in Philosophy and Theology.
The duties of the post include: i) teaching four weighted hours a week (averaged over three eight-week terms) through a combination of tutorials and classes; ii) participation in the organisation and administration of PPE and Philosophy and Theology at the College in collaboration with the other PPE and Theology and Religion tutors. The successful candidate should have submitted, or be close to submitting, a doctorate. The successful candidate must be able to offer tutorials in General Philosophy (i.e., introductory metaphysics and epistemology), and (for second year and third year students) in Ethics, and two or more advanced Philosophy papers (including at least one of Knowledge and Reality or Plato’s Republic in translation).
The closing date for applications is 12 noon on Friday 10 May and interviews will be taking place in the week beginning 20 May 2024.
Mansfield College is committed to promoting a culture of equality, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace. Applications are particularly welcome and encouraged from women, black, and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford.
