Job description |
LAKE FOREST COLLEGE invites applications for a tenure-track appointment as Assistant Professor (PhD) or Instructor (ABD), of philosophy beginning August 2016. We seek applicants with broad interests and a love of teaching, to offer a variety of courses in philosophy of science (philosophy of biology or psychology would be particularly interesting) and practical ethics. The Philosophy Department has long embraced a dual mission: (1) to provide comprehensive coverage of the central areas of philosophy for majors, including those interested in graduate study and (2) to encourage connections to other disciplines, to support other programs and the general mission of the College and to emphasize the ways philosophical reflection can enhance study in other disciplines. We will be interviewing at the 2016 Eastern Division APA Meeting January 6-9 in Washington DC. For more information on our department, see: http://www.lakeforest.edu/academics/programs/philosophy/. Essential courses for this position include introductory and advanced topical philosophy of science and topical practical ethics courses, such as business and professional ethics, or perhaps ethics related to scientific issues, e.g., medical ethics, environmental ethics, or research ethics. Candidates should also be able to teach both introductory and symbolic or mathematical logic. Course offerings in other areas are welcome, based on the candidate’s interests and expertise, as is willingness to contribute to other programs on campus, such as Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies, Environmental Studies, Social Justice, etc. |
