Job description

The Department of Philosophy at McGill University invites applications for a tenure-track position at the level of Assistant Professor commencing August 1, 2018. AOS: Ethics. Candidates must hold a PhD at the time of taking up the appointment. They should have already demonstrated excellence in both research and teaching. The successful applicant will be expected to teach across core areas of ethics and to contribute in other ways to the department’s teaching strengths.

In addition to our rigorous undergraduate programme, we have a small professionalized doctoral programme that attracts excellent students in a range of fields. The successful candidate will contribute substantially to both of these programmes. The standard teaching load is two courses per semester, with a two-semester system. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

McGill University is Canada’s most international university, with an outstanding record of scholarship in many fields. The main campus of the University is located in the centre of Montreal, a vibrant multicultural city in the francophone province of Quebec. The language of instruction at McGill is English. The Department of Philosophy is diverse in its areas of research excellence and respectful of this diversity. We encourage applications from individuals who can contribute to this pluralism, who work, or are open to conversations, across traditional philosophical boundaries, and who can complement our existing research strengths. (For information about these strengths, please see http://www.mcgill.ca/philosophy/). 

Applications should include: a cover letter; a current curriculum vitae; a research dossier comprising a statement of research interests and a sample of academic writing (20 to 30 pages); a statement outlining the applicant’s approach to teaching and teaching experience, together with teaching evaluations where available (maximum 10 pages total); and three letters of reference.
