Job description

The University of Macau is the leading higher education institution in Macao, with English as its working language. In recent years, the University has been making great progress towards becoming internationally recognized for its excellence in teaching, research and service. With the beautiful new campus (20 times larger than the old one) becoming fully operational recently, the launch of Asia’s largest residential college system, the establishment of new schools, and the increasing numbers of students and faculty members recruited from around the world, UM provides great potential and exciting new possibilities for growth and development.

The Philosophy and Religious Studies Programme of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities invites applications for the position of Assistant Professor of Philosophy.

The Philosophy and Religious Studies Programme is a newly established and growing scholarly community with a strong international profile comprising intercultural approaches to both philosophy and religious studies. In addition to an undergraduate Minor programme in Philosophy and Religious Studies, the programme actively participates in the University-wide General Education programme and offers PhD supervision across the range of the department’s expertise. In philosophy the programme has particular strengths in Eastern philosophical traditions and religions, including Buddhism, Confucianism and Daoism, as well as strengths in critical theory, analytical philosophy, and philosophy and literature.

Qualifications

Applicants must hold a PhD in Philosophy or in a related area. Applicants should have an excellent record of tertiary teaching and supervision experience and a distinguished record of research and publication at an international level. Applications with specialization in all areas of philosophy will be considered; expertise in Western philosophy, as well as the ability to contribute to the programme’s profile as comparative and intercultural, bridging East and West, are especially welcome.

The selected candidate is expected to assume duty in August 2015.
