Professor of Philosophy-Ethics

Description

New College of Florida invites applications for a tenure-track position in Philosophy to begin Fall 2025.  We seek candidates with a broad background in applied ethics (e.g., technology, business, bioethics) and demonstrated competence in Environmental Ethics. Additional areas of competence are open, but a background in Philosophy of Mind, Philosophy of Science, Metaphysics, and/or Philosophy of Language would be welcome. New College has active graduate and undergraduate programs in Environmental Studies, Animal Wellbeing and Conservation, Data Science, and Marine Mammals, and this position would likely contribute to our instructional offerings in one or more of those interdisciplinary programs.

The teaching load is two courses per semester plus sponsoring individual and group tutorials. In addition to classes and tutorials, faculty members provide academic advising, supervise independent study projects, sponsor senior undergraduate theses/projects, and serve on baccalaureate committees. The successful candidate is expected to establish and maintain a program of research or creative work. We are particularly interested in candidates who have a demonstrated commitment to innovative undergraduate liberal arts teaching and an aptitude for interdisciplinary collaboration and dialogue.
