St John's College invites applications from suitably qualified men and women for a Tutorial Fellowship in Philosophy with effect from 1 October 2006. The Fellowship will be held in association with a Titular CUF Lectureship in Philosophy, to be held in the Faculty of Philosophy. These posts are permanent, subject to the satisfactory completion of a review of the initial five-year period of office.

The person elected will provide tutorial teaching to undergraduates for eight hours each week during Full Term, and participate in the organization of teaching in Philosophy in the College.
