{wiki=Professor_of_Natural_Philosophy_(Glasgow)}
The title "Professor of Natural Philosophy" at the University of Glasgow traditionally refers to a position focusing on the study of natural sciences, particularly physics, in a historical context. "Natural philosophy" was the term used before the modern conception of the sciences emerged, encompassing disciplines such as physics, chemistry, astronomy, and biology. Historically, the role would have involved teaching and research in these fields, and the position at Glasgow has been notable for its association with prominent scientists and philosophers.
