Job Description
The Department of Philosophy at King’s College London, in association with the Sowerby Project in Philosophy & Medicine, invites applications for a fixed term, 18-month lectureship. The post-holder will work in close collaboration with the Peter Sowerby Chair Professor Elselijn Kingma to develop and expand the Philosophy & Medicine Project in all areas: research, teaching and public outreach.
We are seeking an excellent philosopher with the desire and ability to develop and deliver new teaching, outreach and research in any area of philosophy with impact, application and significance to medicine, nursing or midwifery. We particularly welcome candidates with relevant backgrounds in medicine, nursing, midwifery, and the health sciences. The successful candidate will be a supportive, effective and inspiring teacher of both medical and philosophy students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and will bring enthusiasm and a collaborative approach.
We especially encourage members of marginalized groups to apply in recognition of the underrepresentation in Philosophy and Medicine of members of certain marginalized groups, including ethnic minorities, women, persons with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and others, and the deficits this creates in philosophical and medical research and governance.
This post will be offered on a fixed-term contract for 18 months.
This is a full-time post – 100% full time equivalent
Key responsibilities
- Planning and delivering high quality research within any area of philosophy with impact, application and significance to medicine, nursing, or midwifery.
- Teaching and supervising medical students at KCL’s GKT School of Medical Education, as well as Philosophy undergraduate and postgraduate students in the above areas. This will also include participating in assessment and other educational activities as needed.
- Collaborating with the Medical School and the Sowerby Chair to develop new teaching initiatives to further integrate philosophy into the medical curriculum.
- Developing and supporting public outreach and public-facing activities of the Philosophy & Medicine project.
- Fostering internal and external networks and research collaborations with organizations and individuals working at the intersection of Philosophy and Medicine.
- Advancing their personal reputation and that of the Project by regularly disseminating findings, taking the lead in preparing publication materials for refereed journals, presenting results at conferences, or exhibiting work at other appropriate events.
- Assisting with the administration and management of the Project, including organisation of Project meetings and documentation and preparation of annual reports.
The above list of responsibilities may not be exhaustive, and the post holder will be required to undertake such tasks and responsibilities as may reasonably be expected within the scope and grading of the post.
