Minorities and Philosophy International Organizer

Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) is hiring for TWO positions! 

MAP is a graduate student-led organization that aims to examine and address barriers to equitable participation in academic philosophy. It comprises over 100 chapters worldwide and continues to grow. We are so excited to be hiring for TWO positions! They are: 

1. Position 1: International Organizer

The role of International Organizers is largely to facilitate the success of MAP chapters and oversee the development of the larger organization. As such, responsibilities may include: conferencing regularly with other Organizers, making decisions on the growth of MAP regions and projects, coordinating with outside organizations (like the APA or funders), responding to chapter funding requests, updating the website and social media pages, collating lists of chapter activities, publishing newsletters and reports, touching base with chapter organizers, and more. 

1. Position 2: Climate Ambassador 

The Climate Ambassador position is new as of this upcoming academic year. The role of this position would be to act as a liaison between MAP and Philosophers for Sustainability. This would likely involve planning co-sponsored events, organizing collaborative workshops and projects, and communicating with Eugene Chislenko, President of Philosophers for Sustainability, on a regular basis. In addition to this, the Climate Ambassador would also have some general MAP Organizer responsibilities of the sort outlined in the job description above. While some familiarity with sustainability is a plus for this position, it is certainly not required, and we define sustainability very broadly so as to include e.g., indigenous philosophy and related activism, environmental philosophy and related activism, the philosophy of food and related food-justice activism, etc. 

Both positions will receive a modest honorarium. The intended start date for both positions is Summer 2026. You are welcome to apply for either position or to indicate whether you would like your application to be considered for both positions. 

Please note that we welcome repeat applications from those who have applied in the past.

Application criteria:

• Must be a graduate student (MA or PhD) in the 2025-2026 academic year.

• Must be able to make a two-year commitment to the organizer position.

• Ideally has experience with local MAP chapter and/or MAP-related or MAP-adjacent outreach.

• Additional organizing experience (e.g., with non-profit organizations, departmental service responsibilities, etc.) is also a plus (please highlight in CV or statement of interest).

• MAP International oversees many chapters, events, and partnerships. Strong applicants will make clear how they construct and manage an organized workflow and balance their various commitments.

• Other valued skills include, but are by no means limited to, experience with graphic design, coding and website management, social media, managing institutional partnerships, listserv maintenance, email blasts, and nonprofit fundraising.

TO APPLY: Please submit a Statement of Interest and CV (as a single PDF) by 11:59pm on March 29, 2026 to: [email protected] with the subject line ‘Organizer Application – [LastName, FirstName].’ 

Your statement of interest should be no longer than 2 pages double-spaced. It should explain why you are interested in the role of MAP International Organizer and why you fit the role well. It should outline, if only briefly, the unique skills you would bring to a team. You should also detail past involvement with MAP and other relevant experiences.

In this statement, please indicate whether you are applying to Position 1 or to Position 2 or to both.
