Associate Professorship in Analytic Philosophy, Stockholm (Sweden), Deadline: 30 Nov 2009

Associate Professorship in Analytic Philosophy at KTH (Stockholm)

KTH is Sweden's largest technological university. Its Division of 
Philosophy (around 30 employees including PhD students) conducts research
 
and education in areas such as ethics, philosophy of risk, decision 
theory, logic, and philosophy of science. We now have an open position as
 
associate professor (senior lecturer) in analytic philosophy. This is a 
permanent, tenured position.

We define analytic philosophy, in a broad sense, as philosophical studies
 
in a tradition that puts focus on precision and strength of argument, and
 
seeks cooperation with other scientific disciplines. The primary emphasis
 
is on subject areas that are of particular interest to KTH as a 
technological university, which includes ethics, decision theory, 
epistemology, logic, and the philosophy of science and technology.

The major tasks are teaching and research. An applicant who is not able to
 
teach in Swedish should be able to teach English-language courses in the 
philosophy and methodology of science.

  Applicants must have a PhD or equivalent scientific and pedagogical 
competence.

Equal weight will be attached to the applicants excellence in teaching o
n 
undergraduate and postgraduate level and to her or his excellence in 
research at a high international level. The applicants track record in
 
international refereed journals will be an essential criterion in judging
 
her or his qualifications as a researcher. Documented ability to obtain 
external grants and to lead research projects are also important.

KTH aims to employ a diversity of talent and thus welcomes applicants who
 
will add to the variety of the University, especially as concerns its 
gender structure.
