Associate Professorship in Analytic Philosophy at KTH (Stockholm)
Posted by Vincent Hendricks under: Job annoucements .
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 applicant’s excellence in teaching on undergraduate and postgraduate level and to her or his excellence in research at a high international level. The applicant’s 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.
