Following a recent expansion of the Department in both staff and
student numbers, the University is seeking to consolidate and to
strengthen the Department's research profile. The advertised posts
will increase the permanent staff of the Department from 16 to 19.
The persons appointed will have a proven research record. The
successful candidate for the Chair will be expected to provide
leadership for research activities in Philosophy within the

The salary for the Chair will be within the non-clinical
professorial range. The salary for each of the lectureships will
be on Grade A (13,601 - 18,855) or Grade B (19,642 - 25,107).
[Figures are pounds sterling.]

The University of Leeds is an equal opportunity employer. Women
and members of ethnic minorities are under-represented in the
University in posts at this level and the University would
therefore particulary welcome applications from members of such
groups, whilst, however, affirming that the appointment will be
made entirely on merit.

Further particulars for the Chair (reference number 13/16), and
application forms and further particulars for the two Lectureships
(reference number 13/17) may be obtained from the Personnel
