Professorial Fellowships

The University of Aberdeen proposes to further enhance its substantial recent investment in Philosophy by appointing to up to four Professorial Fellowships in the Northern Institute of Philosophy .

The present round of appointments are intended for philosophers working in any area within the broad remit of the Institute, although expertise suitable to support the work of any of the Institute's current or planned projects (Basic Knowledge, Formal Epistemology, Contextualism and Relativism, the First Person, and Truth and Paradox) will be advantageous. A whole-hearted commitment to an ethos of collaboration and mutual support is essential. Since Knowledge Transfer and communication with other disciplines are an important aspect of the Institute’s’ mission, excellent communication skills are also paramount.

Postdoctoral Fellowships

The University of Aberdeen will further invest in Philosophy with the appointment of a number of Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in the Institute. The posts will be offered for a period of 3 years.

These appointments represent the determination of the University of Aberdeen to match the very highest international standards of excellence in philosophical research and leadership in graduate education.

Postdoctoral Research Fellowships at the Northern Institute are full-time early career positions for philosophers of outstanding research potential. As the Northern Institute is a collaborative research centre a willingness and enthusiasm to work within a team ethos is essential.
