Associate Professorship (or Professorship) of Philosophy
For the College, the postholder will be required to give eight hours of tutorial teaching each week during term time (averaged over the year), to share in organizing the tuition and pastoral care of students studying for joint schools (i.e., joint degree courses) involving Philosophy, and to participate in the administrative work of the College. For details of the college teaching requirements, see below (‘Duties of the post’).
The successful candidate will be a Tutorial Fellow at Somerville College. Oxford Colleges are self-governing multi-disciplinary academic communities which offer members the opportunity to engage with
scholars across a wide range of academic fields. This role will include teaching undergraduates in tutorials of groups of 1, 2, or 3 and contributing to the running of the College through membership of the Governing Body. Oxford’s students are carefully selected to be very capable and are very rewarding to teach in this highly interactive format. The successful candidate will play a key role in selecting the students in joint degrees involving Philosophy that the post-holder may subsequently teach.
Closing date for all elements of application: noon, Thursday 10 December 2026
