About this position
Our Philosophy and Literature PhD is a leading interdisciplinary research programme which will enable you to develop individual research expertise in philosophy and literature. Drawing on the breadth and depth of research expertise in philosophy and literature, distinctively covering all areas of both analytic and continental philosophy, you will engage in focused research under close expert supervision, as part of a vibrant research community. The skills and subject knowledge you will gain, including through our curated professional development activities, provide ideal preparation for further research or teaching. You can also get involved in the various scholarly activities organised by the interdisciplinary Centre for Research in Philosophy, Literature and the ArtsLink, as well as those of our other research centres (the Centre for Research in Post-Kantian European Philosophy, the Warwick Mind and Action Research Centre, and the Centre for Ethics, Law and Public Affairs)
Teaching and learning
You will produce an 80,000-word thesis that can provide the basis for professional publication. You will contribute to department’s vibrant research community by taking part in work-in-progress seminars and the activities of the department’s research centres. In addition to regular expert supervisions, we provide a suite of professional development activities, designed to foster your skills in researching, writing, and teaching philosophy, including our core PhD seminar as well as wider career development guidance.
