Job Description

The Department of Humanities and Philosophy at the University of Central Oklahoma invites applications from a diverse group of qualified applicants for a tenure track position at the rank of Assistant Professor to begin August 2025.

Philosophy Professors teach core curriculum courses required of all students (Introduction to Philosophy; Logic and Critical Thinking; Contemporary Moral Problems; or Social and Political Philosophy), as well as upper year undergraduate classes in their areas of expertise. The regular teaching load for tenure-track faculty is 4/4 per academic year, which typically includes at least two core curriculum courses and at least one upper-division course per semester. Upper-division courses are offered in a four-semester rotation.

The successful applicant will be expected to teach upper-division courses that fill our department’s curricular needs in Aesthetics, Continental Philosophy, or Early Modern Philosophy. Strong preference will be given to candidates with competence  in at least two of these areas.

The position includes usual research and service activity. This is a 9-month per year, tenure-earning position with the possibility of optional summer teaching.

A Ph.D. in Philosophy is required. Experience in teaching philosophy and documented evidence of teaching effectiveness is highly valued.
