Tenure-track Assistant Professor of Philosophy (EXPIRED)

The Department of Arts, Languages, & Philosophy at Missouri University of Science and Technology invites applications for a tenure-track position in philosophy at the rank of Assistant Professor, to begin in August 2023. The successful candidate will teach undergraduate-level philosophy courses, contribute to strengthening our department's philosophy program, maintain an active research program, and fully engage in the life of our diverse, multidisciplinary department.
