LOYOLA MARYMOUNT UNIVERSITY, Los Angeles, California.  Assistant Professor, tenure-track, beginning Fall 2017.  2-2-2-3 courseload over 4 semesters.  Undergraduate and M.A.-level teaching.  AOS:  Catholic philosophy, 19th-21st century.  AOC:  Open.  The department is particularly interested in one or more of the following:  personalism, philosophy of law, social/political philosophy, philosophy of mind, global philosophy, feminist philosophy.  Ph.D. in Philosophy prior to appointment strongly preferred.  Salary competitive. 

As a pluralistic philosophy department that values and respects a broad range of intellectually diverse perspectives and scholarship, we seek applicants who will value and add to our diversity and who will contribute to the broad Catholic tradition of philosophical inquiry.  Our department is at the center of a Catholic university whose mission is inspired and still guided by the traditions of the Jesuits and the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary.  We value a teacher-scholar model that optimizes a balance between teaching and scholarship, and that includes a commitment to shared governance, active citizenship, and building a strong intellectual  community.

Located on the west side of Los Angeles overlooking the Pacific, LMU is one of the nation’s 28 Jesuit colleges and universities and five Marymount institutions.

LMU seeks professionally outstanding applicants who value its mission and share its commitment to academic excellence, the education of the whole person, the service of faith and the promotion of justice.  (Visit www.lmu.edu for more information.)
