One of the very best fellowship oppotunities is provided by the H.L.A. Hart Fellowships at Oxford. Full details are in the continuation of this post or at: http://www.univ.ox.ac.uk/cepl/fellowships.pdf. Because the deadline is approaching, this post will float at the top of the blog for the next few days.
UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD
Oxford Centre for Ethics and Philosophy of Law,
HLA Hart Visiting Fellowships
The Oxford Centre for Ethics and Philosophy of Law (CEPL) invites applications for up to four short-term HLA Hart Visiting Fellowships to be held at University College, Oxford, during the academic year 2007-8. CEPL was founded in 2002 as a collaboration between three neighbouring colleges of the University of Oxford (Corpus Christi College, Merton College, and University College). It exists to encourage and support advanced work in moral, political, and legal philosophy, not only in Oxford but also nationally and internationally. CEPL occupies attractive shared premises in Merton Street, in the heart of the University’s historic centre, next to the University’s Philosophy Faculty and Library. More detailed information about CEPL is available on its website at
http://www.univ.ox.ac.uk/cepl/
CEPL’s HLA Hart Visiting Fellowship Scheme is aimed at philosophers on sabbatical leave from other institutions who wish to spend a period of time working in Oxford, normally for the duration of one extended university term, although consideration will also be given to applications for Fellowships spanning two consecutive terms, or during vacations. In all cases, the maximum duration of the Fellowship and of the associated benefits is 11 weeks. The Oxford terms are known as Michaelmas (early October to mid-December), Hilary (early January to late March), Trinity (mid-April to end June). The Long Vacation starts in early July, until late September, and applicants should bear in mind that during this period there are few academic events. The Fellowships are unsalaried, but attract a housing allowance of up to £800 per calendar month, depending on circumstances. Successful applicants will be provided with an attractive office in the Centre. They will also enjoy full use of University College’s nearby academic and social facilities, on the same basis as other College Fellows, including free meals at the common table. The College and the Centre will normally have just one Visiting Fellow in residence at any one time, but special arrangements may be possible for those working on joint projects, or in other exceptional circumstances.
Visiting Fellows are expected to engage in advanced philosophical work in Oxford during the period of their Fellowship, and to participate in the common academic life of the legal, political and moral philosophy communities, as appropriate. CEPL welcomes applications from philosophers at a relatively early stage of their careers as well as from senior and well-established philosophers.
