Postdoctoral Fellowships & Senior Research Fellowships in Philosophy (Global Priorities), Oxford (England), Deadline: 10 Nov 2021

The Global Priorities Institute <https://globalprioritiesinstitute.org/> 
(GPI) at the University of Oxford - part of the Faculty of Philosophy - is 
currently advertising four-year postdoc positions

Postdoctoral Fellowships:

https://globalprioritiesinstitute.org/vacancies-postdoctoral-research-fellows-in-philosophy/

and 
Senior Research Fellowships:

https://globalprioritiesinstitute.org/vacancies-senior-research-fellow-in-philosophy/

in Philosophy.

The central focus of GPI is what we call ?global priorities research?, 
which centres on the question ?What should we do with a given unit of 
resources if our aim is to do the most good?? We are particularly 
interested in hiring specialists in moral philosophy and/or decision 
theory. More information and example research questions can be found in 
GPI?s research 
agenda<https://globalprioritiesinstitute.org/research-agenda>.

For current graduate students, postdocs at GPI are a great way to launch 
an academic career. Team-based and individual research on global 
priorities topics is combined with substantial freedom to pursue one?s own 
unrelated projects (e.g. working on publications related to a recent PhD 
dissertation), there is plenty of funding for infrastructure and travel, 
and the Institute takes support for career development very seriously. GPI 
is as yet too young to have an established placement record, but we 
confidently expect GPI postdocs to go on to tenure-track positions in the 
very best research universities.

More generally, GPI is a vibrant and supportive research environment, with 
plenty of opportunities for informal discussion as well as multiple 
structured research events each week.


Applications close on 10 November (midday UK time), and more details on 
the posts can be found at the Postdoctoral and Senior Research Fellow 
position pages on the GPI website. We particularly encourage applications 
from women, black and ethnic minority candidates, as these groups are 
underrepresented in philosophy.

If you are interested in global priorities research or GPI in general, but 
these posts are not right for, you can also have a look at our 
opportunities page <https://globalprioritiesinstitute.org/opportunities/> 
for more information. There, you can also fill out an expression of 
interest to get in touch.

Please contact gpi-office@philosophy.ox.ac.uk if you have any questions or 
would like to explore further ? we look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Hilary Greaves
Director, Global Priorities Institute
