Postdoctoral Fellowship (EXPIRED)

The School of Arts and Sciences at Rutgers University is pleased to announce the availability of three postdoctoral fellowships in philosophy of religion. Fellows will be appointed in the Department of Philosophy in association with Rutgers Center for the Philosophy of Religion (RCPR).  We are especially interested in fellows engaged in research concerning issues in the philosophy of religion that involve value theory, epistemology, or cognitive science.  The primary responsibility of a Fellow will be to conduct research on his or her project.  Fellows will also be responsible for teaching one course per year in an area of expertise. Fellows will be expected to participate in conferences, workshops, and seminars sponsored by the RCPR.  They will be asked to help with some aspects of the RCPR’s projects.

Fellows will be appointed for one year with the possibility of renewal for a second year. Appointments will be effective September 1, 2014 or January 1, 2015. Fellows will receive a stipend of $55,000 annually; they will also receive Rutgers University health benefits. Fellows must have earned a Ph.D. in philosophy between October, 2009 and June 2014.  They must present a research project in the philosophy of religion.

Applications consisting of a CV, a research proposal, a writing sample, and three references should be submitted electronically through Interfolio at http://apply.interfolio.com/23391. Requests for more information should addressed to Prof. Dean Zimmerman at [email protected].  Review of applications will commence on January 1, 2014, and continue until the positions are filled.
