This is a non-fixed-term, full-time lectureship, tenable from 1 October

Current research by our staff and postgraduate students spans a notably 
diverse range of philosophical, historical and interdisciplinary topics. 
It is focused around the activities of four research groups/clusters:

We are keen to appoint an excellent early-career philosopher, whose 
research will complement and enhance the activities of our 'Mind, Language 
and Metaphysics' cluster.

The successful candidate must be in a position to take up the appointment 
on 1st October 2014.
