Additionally, candidates with demonstrated teaching excellence in the philosophy of science and introductory philosophy courses preferred. Candidates with the ability to contribute to one of the University’s interdisciplinary programs, such as cognitive science, linguistics or WGSS, preferred. A Ph.D. is required. ABDs will be considered, but must have completed the Ph.D. degree by the start date.


Applicants should apply online at http://www.urjobs.org using the Faculty (Instructional/Research) link. Applicants are asked to submit a curriculum vitae, a cover letter, a summary of current teaching and research interests, a writing sample, and names of three references, at least one of whom addresses the candidate’s teaching ability, who will receive an automated email asking them to submit their reference letters to this website. Applications should be received by November 1, 2012.
