Job description

The Department of Philosophy at Loyola Marymount University invites applications for multiple three-year non-renewable, post-doctoral Faculty Fellow positions beginning in the Fall 2018 semester. The position involves teaching three undergraduate philosophy courses (maximum of two preparations per semester) as part of the University Core Curriculum. AOS: Open. AOC: Open. Fellowships are primarily intended for candidates who have completed their Ph.D. within the last three years. Applicants should have a passion for undergraduate teaching, a strong commitment to the liberal arts, and a commitment to a Jesuit, Catholic mission.

The position is full-time and includes health care and retirement benefits. A startup fund of $3,000 will be provided to each fellow that may be used for relocation expenses or professional development. Fellows will also receive $1,500 per year for conference travel and professional development expenses.

The objective of the fellows program is to facilitate professional development as teacher-scholars. Fellows will be members of the Bellarmine Society of Fellows, composed of other post-doctoral fellowship holders in other disciplines and their LMU faculty mentors, and constituting an intellectual and social community supporting all fellowship holders during their time at LMU. The fellowship will have distinctive features such as formal seminars and workshops on the Catholic Intellectual Tradition, Catholic Social Teaching, and Ignatian Pedagogy in addition to participation in other teaching-related professional development opportunities offered, for example, through our Center for Teaching Excellence.

The application deadline is April 10, 2018 at 5:00 pm. Candidates may apply through the LMU Human Resources online application portal: https://jobs.lmu.edu. Application requirements: 1) a cover letter (outlining area of expertise, teaching and research interests, and resonance with LMU’s mission); 2) a curriculum vitae; 3) a statement of teaching philosophy and, if applicable, teaching evaluations and/or sample syllabus (those who do not yet have formal teaching experience are still encouraged to apply); 4) a sample of scholarly writing; and 5) three letters of recommendation.  Materials 1 through 4 must be uploaded at time of application. Only online applications will be accepted.

Three letters of recommendation (requirement 5) also have a deadline of April 10. Each letter should be emailed by the recommender directly to the following email address: [email protected].

Applications missing any of the materials or arriving after April 10, 2018 will not be considered.

Questions may be directed to: Brad Elliott Stone, Chair, Faculty Fellows Search Committee: [email protected].
