Job description

The Department for Philosophy and Religious Studies at Utrecht University is

We are looking for a colleague who can substantially contribute to research

MA-level, contribute to interdisciplinary teaching activities, supervise 
theses, and is available for administrative tasks concerning teaching, such

administrative tasks in the department and/or faculty.
