Assistant Professor, Normative Ethics

The Department of Philosophy at McGill University invites applications for a tenure-track position at the level of Assistant Professor commencing August 1, 2019. AOS: Normative Ethics. Candidates must hold a PhD at the time of taking up the appointment. They should have already demonstrated excellence in both research and teaching. The successful applicant will be expected to teach across core areas of ethics and to contribute in other ways to the department’s teaching strengths. 

In addition to our rigorous undergraduate programme, we have a small professionalized doctoral programme that attracts excellent students in a range of fields. The successful candidate will contribute substantially to both of these programmes. The standard teaching load is two courses per semester, with a two-semester system. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

McGill University is Canada’s most international university, with an outstanding record of scholarship in many fields. The main campus of the University is located in the center of Montreal, a vibrant multicultural city in the francophone province of Quebec. The language of instruction at McGill is English. Knowledge of French is an asset. The Department of Philosophy is diverse in its areas of research excellence and respectful of this diversity. We encourage applications from individuals who can contribute to this pluralism, who work, or are open to conversations, across traditional philosophical boundaries, and who can complement our existing research strengths. (For information about these strengths, please see http://www.mcgill.ca/philosophy/.) 

Applications should include: a cover letter; a current curriculum vitae; a research dossier comprising a statement of research interests and a sample of academic writing (20 to 30 pages); a statement outlining the applicant’s approach to teaching and teaching experience, together with teaching evaluations where available (maximum 10 pages total); and three letters of reference.

PLEASE APPLY ONLINE AT: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/11787 

Deadline for receipt of applications and all supporting material: October 15, 2018.

Inquiries may be sent to the Chair of the Department, Hasana Sharp, at [email protected]

If the successful candidate satisfies the specific eligibility conditions of the program, the candidate may be supported by the University for nomination to a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Normative Ethics, which provides protected time for research within a full-time academic appointment. Tier 2 Chairs are for emerging researchers (individuals who are no more than 10 years from having earned their highest degree). However, career interruptions (e.g. maternity or parental leave, extended sick leave, clinical training, family care, etc.) may be taken into consideration using the Tier 2 justification process  to review the candidate’s eligibility. Potential applicants who are more than 10 years from their highest degree with career interruptions may contact the institution to have their eligibility reviewed through the Tier 2 justification process. The eligibility conditions for the CRC chairs are found at http://www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca/program-programme/nomination-mise_en_candidature-eng.aspx#s3. 

Candidates who do not satisfy the CRC eligibility criteria for a Tier 2 chair are nonetheless encouraged to apply. All Faculty of Arts positions at McGill are being advertised as potential CRCs. 

McGill University hires on the basis of merit and is strongly committed to equity and diversity within its community. We especially welcome applications from visible minority group members, women, Indigenous persons, persons with disabilities, persons of minority sexual orientations and gender identities, and others with the skills and knowledge to productively engage with diverse communities. We encourage members of equity-seeking groups to self-identify within their letter of intent in their application. Persons with disabilities who anticipate needing accommodations for any part of the application and hiring process may contact, in confidence, Professor Angela Campbell, Associate Provost (Equity and Academic Policies) at (514) 398-1660 or at [email protected]. Associate Provost Campbell can also answer questions related to equity, diversity and inclusion, or privacy concerns the candidate may have related to self-identifying. 

All qualified applicants are encouraged to apply; however, in accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.
