Lynette S. Autrey Visiting Faculty in the 2019-20 Rice Seminar (EXPIRED)

In conjunction with the Rice Seminars, the Humanities Research Center at Rice University hosts yearlong residential fellowships for outstanding visiting faculty who will participate in the 2019-20 Rice Seminar: The Value of Consciousness and the Consciousness of Value. This seminar’s organizing questions may be framed as follows: Does consciousness bestow on its possessor a special kind of value? If so, what is this special value and what is it about consciousness that bestows this value on its possessor? In what ways, if any, does our conscious experience (in perception, emotion, and thought) of conscious beings disclose their distinctive value? 

This is a full-time, benefits eligible, one-year appointment, renewable for a second year, with an annual salary of $60,000 and a $3,000 allowance for research and/or relocation to Houston. In order to apply, please click on this link.

Applicants must hold the terminal degree in their field. A tenured or tenure-track position in higher education is required. Applicants from any humanistic discipline or interdiscipline are eligible, but there is preference for candidates whose work focuses on Philosophy of Mind and/or Value Theory.
