In 2026-27, one Faculty Fellowship will be co-sponsored by the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies. This fellowship will fund a project that connects with the topic above from a perspective in Asian studies.

Faculty Fellows receive half their base salary per academic year (up to $80,000), a housing subsidy (for those who currently reside outside of the South Bend area), a research allowance of $1,000, and a private office at ECG. Fellows' home institutions provide the remainder of their salaries as well as all benefits, including health insurance.

The program is open to U.S. and international faculty at any career stage, from assistant to full professor. The fellowship is also open to independent scholars, journalists, artists, and others whose work aligns meaningfully with the fellowship theme.

Note: Postdocotral candidates working on love-based ethical frameworks should apply through a separate application page. The Love Ethic Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is similar to the program described below but includes a few key differences.

The Bertrand Russell Research Centre and the Philosophy Department at McMaster University invite applications for a 1-year postdoctoral fellowship in the history and philosophy of psychology.

Philosophy of mind that engages research in cognitive psychology is flourishing. But approaching philosophical questions in an empirically-informed way is not a new thing on the intellectual stage. Empirical psychology gained a foothold as an independent scientific discipline around the turn of the 20th century. For reflection on mind conducted before that time, it can be intriguingly difficult to draw a clean line between the philosophical and the (natural) scientific.  

We are building a new project at McMaster aimed at excavating philosophically-rich empirical work on mind from prior centuries. The project aims to address two key questions.

1. What can today’s philosophers of mind and cognitive scientists learn from forgotten, empirically-informed work from the past?

2. How did the rise of an independent science of mind influence the subsequent development of analytic philosophy?

Over the next several years, the Bertrand Russell Research Centre will host a series of workshops and conferences aimed at encouraging new research on these issues. The successful applicant to this position will support this project by conducting original research that addresses one or both of these questions, and by helping with conference organization (along with supporting publications that might flow from these events).

About us:

The Bertrand Russell Research Centre is devoted to the study of Russell and the history of analytic philosophy more generally. We produce the Collected Works of Bertrand Russell, The Collected Letters of Bertrand Russell, and the journal Russell. McMaster is home to the Bertrand Russell Archives, which holds by far the largest collection of Russelliana in the world, including manuscripts, notebooks, photographs, recordings, his personal library, and over 100,000 letters. Russell himself came to champion the philosophical relevance of empirical psychology, so research proposals that connect to Russell are especially welcomed.

Position Duties and Responsibilities:

The incumbent of this position will be responsible for producing research that addresses the project’s core questions, for assisting with grant writing, and for helping organize project-related events.

Salary range:  $80,000-$90,000, including benefits and pension contributions.

Start date: September 2025

Location: Department of Philosophy, McMaster University

Supervisor:

• Alexander Klein (Canada Research Chair, Professor of Philosophy, Director of the Bertrand Russell Research Centre, McMaster University)

Requirements:

• The candidate must have a Ph.D. in philosophy, history and philosophy of science, cognitive psychology, or related areas.

• The candidate must have an independent research proposal compatible with the project outline.  

How to Apply:

Interested applicants should submit the following:

(1) Two-page cover letter outlining a research project the applicant would like to pursue;

(2) Curriculum vitae (please indicate your PhD dissertation title, abstract, and supervisor); and

(3) The names and contact information of up to three references.

The files should be combined into a single PDF file. Please apply on-line.

• Evidence of ability to teach most or all of the courses highlighted above

• Experience with and sensitivity to the needs of a diverse urban student population including (but not limited to) students of color, LBGTQIA students, students from low-income backgrounds, first-generation students, students with disabilities, undocumented students, non-traditional students, student veterans, and English language learners

 We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet every preferred qualification. We are most interested in finding the candidate who will best contribute to our department, our mission, and the University. 

 Salary for Announcement

 The salary range for this position is $50,000 - $60,000 at Lecturer level. The salary of the finalist selected for the role will be set based upon a variety of factors, including but not limited to, internal equity, education, experience, specialty and training.

About the University

 MSU Denver enrolls over 16,000 students, where nearly 60% are first generation and over 55% are students of color. Located in downtown Denver, we are a designated Hispanic Serving Institution that also offers graduate programs (gHSI) and the only Seal of Excelencia certified institution in Colorado. As the third largest institution of higher education in Colorado and the only institution with an open access mission, MSU Denver is a model university for today’s students. The University serves the most diverse undergraduate student population in the state, as well as the most first-generation students. Through affordable, flexible, and holistic education, MSU Denver helps students build essential skills grounded in a multicultural and global perspective that lead to undergraduate and graduate degrees, and career and life success.

About the Department of Philosophy

 The Department of Philosophy’s mission is to provide our students, ourselves, and our community with opportunities to join in ongoing conversations about the nature and meaning of human existence in a rigorous, critical, and open-ended manner. We are committed to both freedom of inquiry and the value of truth. Our department is composed of a program coordinator and dedicated teacher-scholars, currently including nine tenure-track faculty, two full-time lecturers, and a talented group of part-time affiliates. Our department offers a B.A. in Philosophy and minors in both Philosophy and Religious Studies. Our department also serves as the home for the Denver Project for Humanistic Inquiry, which enriches Denver’s intellectual and cultural life through programs that reframe perspectives, challenge assumptions, and stimulate dialogue about human thought, history, science, art and culture. Philosophy is unlike other disciplines: students learn not just what others have discovered, but also how to think about themselves, the world, and the relation between them. In our classes, students learn how to think more critically about moral values while developing their own perspectives. 

The Institute's signature online newsmagazine, The Prindle Post, is seeking scholars to write concise, accessible, and engaging articles explaining the moral issues raised by current events and popular culture.

Responsibilities:

• Submit one 1000-1200 word piece (addressing a specific moral question) for review every four weeks (8 total for the year).

• Develop and research topics; curate and cite sources.

• Respond to calls for edits in a timely manner.

Compensation: $125/article

Qualifications:

• Have a graduate degree, or be working toward a graduate degree, in philosophy or a related field in which ethics is a significant component.

• Be familiar with a wide variety of morally relevant features and adept at identifying them in applied contexts.

• Be able to clearly and succinctly articulate arguments regarding morality, public policy, and/or social issues.

• Be generally well-informed about the news and relevant social commentary.

Ethics in the News/Culture

The Prindle Post is different from other explanatory news sites in that we position ethical questions front and center. We aim to situate a general, non-academic audience in the broader conversation and place subjects in the larger philosophical context to which they belong. The thing that truly sets us apart is our commitment to showing our work–being explicit about the evidence and arguments that support different, often competing convictions. We hope to engage readers by emphasizing the underlying moral issues and controversies that make a news story thought-provoking. 

We encourage potential applicants to familiarize themselves with the site to get a sense of the Post’s style and voice. (Rachel Robison-Greene's "State of Surveillance: Should Your Car Be Able to Call the Cops?" and Megan Fritts's "Law Enforcement, Role-Based Duties, and Bodily Autonomy" serve as good examples of the kinds of topics, context, and analysis we're looking for.)

To apply, submit a CV and potential pitch here. Reach out to Editor-In-Chief, Tucker Sechrest ([email protected]), with any questions or concerns.

Hiring is for the 2025-26 academic year, on a part-time basis, in Spring 2026. Teaching is for two sections of Business, Society, and Ethics, a core course for undergraduate business administration majors. Each section has a maximum capacity of 60 students, and there may be up to one grader available for each section.

We are especially interested in candidates who have a background in normative ethics, and familiarity with applied ethics in a business context. While ethics and law run in parallel, we are seeking to distinguish our business ethics and business law curriculum.

This may include assignments focusing on classroom debate and argumentative papers.

The ideal candidate will be an enthusiastic and energetic teacher, sharing their passion with students through interactive and vibrant classroom environments.

Topics for an undergraduate business ethics course typically include: contracts and consent, honesty and fraud, exploitation and coercive pressure, product safety and liability, conflicts of duty (e.g., whistleblowing, trade-secrets, insider trading, bribery and corruption), corporate social responsibility, the nature of markets, fair practices and pricing, competitive practices (e.g., monopoly, price fixing), discrimination, wrongful termination, consumer and employee privacy, and meaningful work.  

• Master’s or terminal professional degree required, doctoral degree preferred.
• Relevant college-level teaching experience in normative or applied ethics

Applicants for this position must be currently legally authorized to work for CMU in the United States. CMU will not sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa for this opportunity.
