Successful candidates will be expected to teach a 3-2 course load, including a variety of introductory and advanced courses; advise senior philosophy theses; contribute to the first-year seminar program; advise major and undecided students; and be an active participant in departmental programming, contributing to a vibrant departmental culture.

Qualifications: The Ph.D. degree is required at time of appointment, along with evidence of teaching excellence and promising research.   We especially welcome candidates who bring a focus outside the traditional canon, can contribute to the College’s Peace and Justice Studies program, and have the ability to build bridges to other departments and programs at the College.  Gettysburg has announced two different positions; candidates may apply for either or both positions, but must so indicate in their cover letter.

Established in 1832, the College has a rich history and is situated on a 220-acre campus with an enrollment of over 2,600 students. Gettysburg College, an equal opportunity employer, complies with all applicable federal, state, local laws and regulations regarding nondiscrimination.

Pursuant to Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1972, Gettysburg College prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex (i.e., prohibits sexual misconduct and relationship violence, including sexual assault and harassment) in all of its educational programs and activities.
