Role you're checking

Philosopher (Academic)

Research

Academic philosophers in India teach and conduct research at institutions like IIT Bombay HSS, IIT Kanpur, IISc, Delhi University, JNU, and the Manipal Centre for Philosophy. Work spans analytic philosophy, continental traditions, and classical Indian systems — Mimamsa, Nyaya, Advaita Vedanta — with publication in journals such as the Journal of the Indian Council of Philosophical Research (JICPR), Sophia, and Synthese. The career is fundamentally a combination of rigorous argument, long-form writing, ICPR and Templeton grant-seeking, and teaching B.A./M.A./PhD students who are themselves learning to think clearly about hard problems.
