Job description

UNIVERSITY OF UTAH, SALT LAKE CITY, UT – ASSISTANT PROFESSOR: The Department of Philosophy seeks to hire a tenure-track Assistant Professor to begin Fall 2016. We are seeking applicants with an AOS in Applied Ethics and at least one other area of department strength (e.g., Philosophy of Science). Our ideal applicant will do work at the intersection of those, and help maintain or build connections with other units on campus (e.g., the Division of Medical Ethics and Humanities). `Applied ethics’ here is broadly construed to include work in bioethics, medical ethics, research ethics, environmental ethics, diversity, public health, and others. Teaching load for tenure track faculty at the University of Utah is two courses per semester of undergraduate and graduate teaching.

The Department values its recent recognition as a “women-friendly” department and is committed to pursuing the benefits that such inclusiveness can bring to philosophical inquiry and the classroom. We enthusiastically welcome applications from candidates who have experience working in settings with students from diverse backgrounds and who can help the department recruit members of underrepresented groups as Philosophy Majors. Information pertaining to these issues should be included in your cover letter.

The University of Utah is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer and educator. Minorities, women, veterans, and those with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply. Veterans’ preference is extended to qualified veterans. Reasonable disability accommodations will be provided with adequate notice. For additional information about the University’s commitment to equal opportunity and access see: http://www.utah.edu/nondiscrimination/.
