**Durham University**

As one of the UK’s leading universities, Durham is an incredible place to define your career while enjoying a high-quality work/life balance. We are home to some of the most talented scholars and researchers from around the world who are tackling global issues and making a difference to people's lives.

The University sits in a beautiful historic city where it shares ownership of a UNESCO World Heritage Site with Durham Cathedral, the greatest Romanesque building in Western Europe. A collegiate University, Durham recruits outstanding students from across the world and offers an unmatched wider student experience.

**The Department**

The Philosophy Department at Durham University is a centre for world-leading research in a wide range of fields, with four main research clusters: ‘Aesthetics, Ethics and Politics’; ‘History of Philosophy’; ‘Mind, Language and Metaphysics’ and ‘Science, Medicine and Society’. It is home to the Centre for Humanities Engaging Science and Society (CHESS) and has strong links with other interdisciplinary research centres and institutes at Durham. At postgraduate and undergraduate level, students can choose from a wide range of topics spanning the whole discipline of philosophy. The Department has one of the largest PhD programmes in the UK, and many of our students go on to pursue highly successful academic careers.

**The Role**

Applications are invited for the position of Teaching Fellow in Philosophy. Teaching duties will include lectures and seminars in the master’s-level module Ethics and Bias in Data Science, plus contributions to modules within logic and critical thinking (Philosophical Traditions, Fundamentals of Logic and Formal and Philosophical Logic), and/or philosophy of science (Science, Medicine and Society; Philosophy of Economics; Philosophy, Climate Change & the Environment), ethics (Ethics and Values, Moral Theory, Applied Ethics, Ethics in Business Practice), Political Philosophy and/or other areas as teaching needs arise. The Teaching Fellow will also be required to play administrative roles in the Department, which will be assigned by the Head of Department.

Teaching Fellowships offer the opportunity of valuable experience to those early in their academic careers and the University is keen to maximise the benefit to as many people as possible. The post of Teaching Fellow will involve a significant teaching load, which may extend into the summer period, and there may be related scholarship and the opportunity for administrative duties which relate to education and pedagogy.

The post is full time and is for a fixed term only (12 months), and it is not anticipated that the post will be extended beyond this fixed term.

The successful applicant will ideally be in post by 1st October 2023.

- Demonstrate the ability to manage own teaching and designing, planning and writing teaching materials;
- Lead some aspects of modules and contribute to modules led by others by collaborating with colleagues on course development;
