Open Position: Assistant Professor of Philosophy with focus on sustainability

The LSE Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method is hiring an Assistant Professor of Philosophy. Application deadline is 3 November 2025.

Candidates must have expertise and research interests in an area of philosophy that has a substantial research connection to sustainability. Candidates must be able to develop a new course in philosophy and sustainability, and be able to make a substantial, research-led contribution to the Department’s core teaching provision. (More information about our courses can be found here.)

This role is fully based in the Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method, but involves extensive collaboration with LSE’s new Global School of Sustainability (GSoS). Candidates are expected to be committed to this collaboration and willing to contribute to GSoS activities. We therefore particularly welcome candidates whose work bears on GSoS’s five research themes.
