Changes at Royal Institute of Philosophy in the UK

Philosopher John Haldane (Baylor & St Andrews) writes:

The Royal Institute of Philosophy, of which I am Chair, is in an ongoing process of development and renewal. In connection with this we have just elected (Lady) Onora O’Neill as President in succession to the late (Lord) Stewart Sutherland and we are now looking to appoint a new Director, and a new editor of Philosophy, to succeed Anthony O’Hear who has occupied both positions since 1994. Details of the Institute and of these positions can be got through the Institute’s website http://royalinstitutephilosophy.org/recruitment-for-the-positions-of-academic-director-and-of-editors-of-philosophy/
