The Institute of Philosophy offers academic education in English and Dutch, to both graduate and undergraduate students; it has about one hundred doctoral students. The faculty has an extensive national and international academic network and has an excellent library.
Duties
Candidates are expected to
- develop a research programme at an international level in the area of philosophical anthropology. Ideally, their research perspective on philosophical anthropology can be situated within one, or more, of the following areas: existential phenomenology, psychoanalysis or philosophy of psychiatry.
- set up collaborations inside and outside of the department, to support and extend the research group’s national and international collaborations, and to set up new forms of collaboration.
- acquire competitive funding and supervise PhDs.
- teach high-quality courses within the area of philosophical anthropology, with a clear commitment to the quality of the programme as a whole. They are prepared to teach courses and seminars in Dutch and English, to graduate and undergraduate students both at the Institute of Philosophy and other KU Leuven faculties.
Requirements
Candidates are expected to
- possess a PhD in Philosophy.
- have a strong research profile in the field of philosophical anthropology. The quality of their research is proven by publications in leading journals and books and through international research experience.
- have demonstrable qualities related to academic education. Teaching experience is an advantage.
- have a cooperative attitude and possess organizational and leadership capacities.
- A good command of English is required.
The administrative and educational language at KU Leuven is Dutch. If, at your appointment, you do not speak Dutch at all or do not speak it well, you will be expected to learn the language to a sufficient level within three years; KU Leuven will provide a training offer to that end. If your teaching assignment is exclusively in a language other than Dutch, then it is expected that after three years you will have mastered Dutch sufficiently to allow you to participate in administrative meetings.
Offer
We are offering full-time employment in an intellectually challenging environment. KU Leuven is a research-intensive, internationally oriented university that carries out both fundamental and applied scientific research. It focuses on inter- and multidisciplinarity and strives for international excellence. In this regard, it actively works together with research partners in Belgium and abroad. It provides its students with an academic education that is based on high-quality scientific research.
You will work in Leuven, a historic, dynamic and lively city located in the heart of Belgium, about 20 minutes from Brussels, the capital of the European Union, and less than two hours from Paris, London and Amsterdam.
Depending on your record and qualifications, you will be appointed to or tenured in one of the grades of the senior academic staff: assistant professor, associate professor, professor or full professor. In principle, junior researchers are appointed as assistant professor on the tenure track for a period of 5 years; after this period and a positive evaluation, they are permanently appointed (or tenured) as an associate professor.
