Job description

The Department of Philosophy at Georgetown University is searching for a tenure-track assistant professor, beginning August 2025. We are looking for candidates who take a philosophical approach to race, or whose work is substantively engaged with a disadvantaged or marginalized racial, ethnic, or regional group.

The teaching load for this position will be two courses per semester, with teaching responsibilities at both the undergraduate and graduate level. During the first year in this position, the successful candidate will also hold the title of Provost’s Distinguished Faculty Fellow, with no teaching or service responsibilities. This arrangement allows for a dedicated focus on research while benefiting from mentorship and support from two senior faculty members.

A Ph.D. in philosophy or a closely related field is required prior to appointment. Candidates must show strong promise of excellence in teaching as well as research. To this end, we ask applicants to provide: 1) a brief cover letter; 2) a curriculum vitae; 3) a writing sample (max: 30 pages); 4) a teaching statement; 5) a research statement; 6) a statement explaining how they will enrich a community that seeks a diversity of perspectives; and 7) the names of at least three references. Application materials should be submitted through Interfolio by 1 November 2024. 

For questions related to this position, please contact: Professor Bryce Huebner at [email protected]

The projected salary or hourly pay range for this position is $84,910 - 94,344, which represents the full range of anticipated compensation for this position. Compensation is determined by a number of factors including, but not limited to, the candidate’s individual qualifications, experience, education, skills, and certifications, as well as the University’s business needs and external factors.
