The School of Philosophical, Historical and International Studies at Monash University is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified Lecturer to contribute to teaching, research and graduate supervision in the Philosophy Department.

The successful candidate will have Philosophy of Mind as their area of specialisation; this is an area of strength at Monash, both in the Department of Philosophy and the new Centre for Consciousness & Contemplative Studies. This appointment will have an important teaching role in the Philosophy major, and potentially in our Politics, Philosophy, Economics (PPE) degree and our interdisciplinary major in Human Rights. The candidate will contribute to administrative service, commensurate with expertise and experience, within the Department and/or School.

The successful candidates will hold a PhD in Philosophy, demonstrated experience in teaching in a tertiary environment, and show capacity to contribute strongly to research development in philosophy at Monash.

This role is a full-time position; however, flexible working arrangements may be negotiated.
