Job description

The Jackson Family Center for Ethics and Values at Coastal Carolina University invites applications for a Jackson Center Ethics Fellowship.  The position is for one year, renewable up to three years.  Appointment is effective August 16, 2015.

The department seeks a scholar with an active research agenda in ethics or political philosophy in the early stages of his/her career.  The candidate’s research should be of interest to the wider campus community and The Jackson Family Center for Ethics and Values. (http://www.coastal.edu/jacksoncenter).  A Ph.D. in philosophy is required (ABD considered if completed by September 2015).

Responsibilities include teaching six courses a year (including one upper division ethics course), contributing to the intellectual life of the community, and participating in the work of the Jackson Center by helping organize conferences and guest speaker visits.  In addition, the ethics fellow is expected to be a mentor for the Jackson Scholar students who are part of the leadership program of the Center. Since Jackson Scholars participate each year in the Ethics Bowl, prior experience with Ethics Bowl competitions is especially valuable.  Salary level is comparable to Assistant Professor. 

Coastal Carolina University is a public comprehensive liberal arts institution located just nine miles from the Atlantic coast resort of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  Coastal enrolls more than 9,900 students from 45 states and 58 nations. The University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award the baccalaureate and selective master’s degrees of national and/or regional significance in the arts and sciences, business, humanities, education, and health and human services, a specialist degree in educational leadership, and a Ph.D. degree in Marine Science.

Candidates should submit an application electronically at http://jobs.coastal.edu.  Include a current CV, a detailed letter of application outlining the candidate’s proposed community engagement based on his/her research as well as the candidates’ ideas of how to be an effective mentor to Jackson Scholars, three letters of recommendation, a sample syllabus for an upper level ethics class, a writing sample, and a PDF of all graduate transcripts.  Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.  To ensure full consideration, all application materials must be received by March 13, 2015.

Coastal Carolina University is building a culturally diverse faculty and strongly encourages applications from women and minority candidates.  CCU is an EO/AA.
