Job description |
The College of St. Scholastica Philosophy Department invites applications for a tenure-track position beginning September 2020 at the rank of Assistant Professor. Area of specialization is open, excluding Ancient and Medieval; area of competence should include Political Philosophy and History of Modern Philosophy. The department particularly welcomes applicants who, in addition to the areas of competence listed above, have interest working with interdisciplinary programs and expertise in any of the following areas: philosophy of medicine, philosophy of science, philosophy of technology, philosophy of law, or public philosophy. The successful candidate will contribute to fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion at the College. Applications received by January 13 will receive full consideration. The philosophy department is small (three members) and pluralistic, interested in an applicant who could help grow our major and teach a variety of courses while advancing their own research agenda and contributing to the department’s initiatives. Currently, these initiatives include increasing the visibility of the department’s expertise in ethics (creating a track in ethics, possibly an Ethics Bowl team, etc.), increasing its online course offerings, and positioning the program as an excellent pre-law major. The teaching load is 3/3 with standard non-teaching service and research expectations. A completed Ph.D. in Philosophy, demonstrated excellence in teaching, and commitment to diversity and inclusion in higher education are required. The College of St. Scholastica is a thriving independent private college with its main campus overlooking Lake Superior in Duluth, extended campuses throughout Minnesota and vibrant online programs that attract learners from around the world. Since 1912, The College of St. Scholastica (CSS) has been preparing students for responsible living and meaningful work by emphasizing the Catholic Benedictine values upon which it was founded: Community, Hospitality, Respect, Stewardship and Love of Learning. At CSS, equity and inclusion are viewed as key ingredients to academic excellence and student success. The College serves an enrollment of approximately 4,000 students in undergraduate and graduate degree programs throughout six schools— nursing, arts and letters, business and technology, education, health sciences, and sciences. U.S. News & World Report consistently ranks CSS among the best colleges and universities in the region for academic excellence and in 2018 Money magazine included St. Scholastica as a top “best colleges for your money” based on educational quality, affordability and alumni earnings.

The College of St. Scholastica is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer committed to creating an educational and work environment that is rich in diversity, inclusive and supportive of all students, faculty and staff. Individuals from diverse racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds and persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply. While there is no religious requirement, we are interested in individuals who value and support the rich Catholic Benedictine heritage of the College of St. Scholastica. |
