The Fellow will be attached to the Stockholm Centre for the Ethics of War and Peace, which is part of the Department. SCEWP is directed by Professor Helen Frowe and aims to produce cutting-edge research in the ethics of war and peace, foster international collaboration with scholars, policy-makers and military practitioners, and improve public and policy debates concerning the ethics of war and peace. This is the largest department om Philosophy in Sweden and is divided into Theoretical and Practical Philosophy. It has a thriving research community and hosts regular visiting speakers and conferences. More information is available at: www.philosophy.su.se/english/. Please note that there is no requirement to speak Swedish for this post. The Fellow will be expected to undertake research in English.
Main Responsibilities
SCEWP has a broad research profile. Previous researchers have worked on duties of rescue, moral responsibility, partiality, heritage protection in war, humanitarian intervention, rights against harm, authority, and compensation. Our recruitment aims to reflect the fact that the best work in moral and political philosophy is informed by research across philosophy, as well as other cognate disciplines. We welcome applications from researchers from a range of backgrounds (e.g., those working on causation, moral responsibility, rights, collective action, or authority) as well as those already working directly on the ethics of war and peace. We currently have particular interests in duties to refugees fleeing war and natural disaster, duties in the face of climate change, and the ethics of immigration policy, as well as the ethics of direct and indirect humanitarian intervention.
The Fellow will be expected to publish high-quality analytic, philosophical research, disseminate their research via international conferences, and publish in high-quality peer-reviewed journals. To this end, a generous research stipend is attached to the post.
The Fellow will also undertake administrative work related to the running of SCEWP, e.g. organising conferences and workshops, undertaking editing work and submitting funding applications, and will be expected to participate in the Centre’s events. They will also be responsible for running our website (training can be provided) and our Public Ethics blog. They may engage in some teaching at graduate and undergraduate levels, to be agreed with the Philosophy department.
