Are you an academic with proven abilities to carry out teaching in Applied Ethics? Are you passionate about delivering an exceptional student experience in a research-intensive Russell Group University? Would you like to join and contribute to a vibrant applied ethics community, which is embedded within the interdisciplinary School of Philosophy, Religion and History of Science?

The School of Philosophy, Religion and History of Science (PRHS) at the University of Leeds seeks to hire a fixed-term Teaching Fellow in Applied Ethics to be a member of IDEA: the Ethics Centre. Your primary teaching responsibilities will concern teaching applied ethics to students across a range of university programmes, chiefly programmes in the Faculty of Business, in Engineering and Physical Sciences, in Medicine and Dentistry, and in PRHS’s and IDEA’s own programmes. You will have submitted your PhD thesis in Philosophy / Applied Ethics by the beginning of the appointment and have relevant subject expertise and teaching experience.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
