What we offer

The Department of Philosophy, the University of Zurich, and Zurich as a university location offer a stimulating environment for research and teaching, a wide range of opportunities for professional exchange, and interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary cooperation in research and teaching. In the area of teaching, you can take advantage of a wide range of continuing education opportunities and work with colleagues to develop new ideas (also for digital teaching). The Department of Philosophy attaches great importance to intensively supervised teaching units, as well as to inclusion, diversity and sustainability in teaching. Inter- and transdisciplinary subject areas and courses are also further developed through participation in international study programs.
The University of Zurich strives to increase diversity in research and teaching and therefore expressly invites applications from qualified women and persons from other underrepresented groups.
