Postdoctoral researcher position in epistemology, University of Cambridge (U.K.), Deadline: Jan 26, 2007 (!)

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE

Postdoctoral Research Fellowship
Faculty of Philosophy

Salary: GBP 24,161-31,525 pa or 20,842-23,457 pa

Limit of Tenure: Fixed Term Funds - renewable. Limit of tenure: Two years,
renewable subject to funding

The Faculty of Philosophy intends to appoint a Research Fellow for two
years from October 2007. The post arises from the appointment of Professor
Quassim Cassam to the Knightbridge Chair of Philosophy. The focus of the
post will be in Epistemology, broadly conceived.

The successful candidate is likely to have at most two years' relevant
postdoctoral academic employment in teaching or research. It is expected
that he/she will have submitted a successful doctoral thesis by 30th
September 2007. If the successful candidate does not hold a PhD at the
start of the appointment, the lower salary range (Research Assistant)  
applies. However progression to the higher salary range (Research
Associate) would follow on award of the PhD.

The primary role of the Fellow is to develop his or her own research. The
Fellow will also, as part of the award, undertake some teaching and
examining in the Faculty. It is also hoped that the Fellow will
participate in the development of research in the area of Epistemology, by
such things as assisting in the organisation of conferences and workshops.

Further details can be obtained from Mrs Heather Sanderson, Faculty
Administrator, Faculty of Philosophy, Raised Faculty Building, Sidgwick
Avenue, Cambridge CB3 9DA (tel: 01223 330525 or 335090, e-mail:

2007. Interviews will be held on 12th February 2007.

candidate's work. In addition, candidates will need to complete a cover
sheet, form PD18
(http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/personnel/forms/pd18/). Applications
should also be accompanied by a piece of recent philosophical work in
English, for example, an article or thesis chapter, in the proposed area
of study.

Heather Sanderson to arrive by the closing date. Informal enquiries
