 About the organization

It is certainly true that the history of philosophy deals with heritage in a very explicit way. But within the context of our research group in the history of philosophy, our department at large, and university-wide research infrastructures, there is a far more specific and ambitious sense in which heritage becomes a research topic: our group has a long-standing tradition in genuinely source-based research in the history of philosophy, including archival work, the preparation of editions and translations, and cooperations with other historical disciplines (history of science; university history; art history; political history). Within the group itself, we are developing a focus upon receptions studies, investigating the intricacies of the long-term transmission of key ideas in European thought.

The Post and the Department

The Department of Philosophy at Durham University seeks to appoint an outstanding philosopher with research interests in data science and/or artificial intelligence, and teaching expertise in formal logic and critical thinking. Interests and expertise in one or more of the following areas may also be an advantage: epistemology, philosophy of cognitive science and philosophy of law. We particularly welcome candidates with interests and expertise in non-Western and other under-represented traditions in philosophy. This is a new post arising from the very successful recent launch of an interdisciplinary master’s programme in data science. It will involve teaching and supervising projects across disciplinary boundaries within this programme, as well as in core areas of philosophy.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing department that pursues research that is world-leading and world-changing. The Philosophy Department at Durham University has concentrations of research expertise across the discipline, with four main research clusters: Aesthetics, Ethics and Politics; History of Philosophy; Mind, Language and Metaphysics and Science, Medicine and Society. It is home to the Centre for Humanities Engaging Science and Society (CHESS) and has strong links with other interdisciplinary research centres and institutes at Durham.

At postgraduate and undergraduate level, our students can choose from a wide range of teaching, spanning the whole discipline of philosophy and the history and philosophy of science and medicine. The Department’s undergraduate programmes are to be found among the top 10 in national rankings for philosophy (The Guardian, The Complete University Guide and The Times). The Department has one of the largest PhD programmes in the UK, and many of our students go on to pursue highly successful academic careers.

Benefitting from strong student recruitment, the Department has expanded significantly in recent years, investing in key research areas including philosophy of health and medicine, and environmental philosophy. We are using this opportunity to create a scholarly community that is open, representative and diverse: our commitment to this is expressed through the work of the Department’s Diversity and Inclusion Group, and our recent Athena Swan Bronze award. We have strengthened our research culture by consolidating and deepening current areas of strength with new appointments; further developing our collaborations with researchers, policymakers and practitioners from other disciplines and beyond academia; and using external funding and University research centres and institutes to support innovative research and the environment it needs to flourish.

This post offers an exciting opportunity to make a major contribution to the development of internationally excellent research and teaching at Durham, while allowing you unrivalled opportunities to progress and embed your career in an exciting and progressive institution.

The University of Rochester was among the first medical schools to create a formal Division of Medical Humanities & Bioethics in 1984 as a natural outgrowth of the school’s signature biopsychosocial model to solidify the presence of the humanities in the medical school curriculum. In December 2021, the Division became a formal department of Health Humanities and Bioethics (HHBE) with the aim to become nationally recognized for active engagement and contributions to the advancement of ethical, just, and humanistic health care, and for education and training in health humanities and bioethics. It now seeks to expand the number of full-time faculty to achieve this vision.

The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary faculty group with training in philosophy, bioethics, clinical ethics, humanities and the performing and visual arts who are engaged in scholarship, clinical and community service, and the teaching of graduate students,  medical students and other trainees in the health professions.  The candidate will have a PhD or equivalent terminal degree. The candidate must have an excellent record of scholarship. We are particularly interested in a faculty member with an interest in ELSI (Ethics, Legal and Social Issues) genetics or any area of pediatric ethics.  Empirical research skills and experience in an academic health center preferred. History of grant funding preferred but not required. Training in clinical ethics is preferred but not required. We especially welcome faculty who bring an equity lens to their teaching and who demonstrate a strong record of collaboration in scholarship and research. 

The successful candidate will be expected to teach in the medical school curriculum and to mentor medical students in the bioethics pathway. 

They will spend at least 50% of their time on scholarship.

Phillips Academy—a boarding high school based in Andover, MA—seeks a full-time Instructor in Philosophy and Religious Studies to begin in September 2023. Strong candidates will be prepared to teach a wide range of courses in philosophy and/or religious studies, both courses that we already offer and others that could round out our offerings and serve our students well.  Prospective candidates are encouraged to review Phillips Academy’s Course of Study online for a sense of the department’s current offerings. Strong candidates will also be committed to cultivating equitable learning experiences for all students and be eager and willing to collaborate with other faculty on teaching and learning.  We seek dynamic teachers who will be active participants not only in the academic program but also in the athletics/fitness and residential programs at this boarding school.  Master’s degree plus a minimum of three years of teaching experience preferred. 

As a boarding school, Phillips Academy asks its faculty to be available for students beyond the usual time commitments of a high school or college. As such, on-campus housing is provided free of charge for all residential faculty. Over the course of a career at Andover, faculty should expect to spend at least 8-10 years in a dorm, working as a residential and academic advisor to groups of students. Faculty are also asked to participate in the school’s athletics program for two seasons each year.

Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.  Please submit a cover letter (addressed to Mr. Jeffrey C. Domina, Dean of Faculty, Phillips Academy), résumé, and two letters of reference. You may have your letters sent to [email protected] if you are unable to directly upload them on the application portal. Please do not otherwise send materials directly by mail or e-mail.

Phillips Academy is an intentionally diverse residential school committed to creating an equitable and inclusive community in which students from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and experiences learn and grow together.  The ideal candidate embraces and supports this commitment.  In your cover letter, please explain your experience and/or interest in working in such a school community. 

Phillips Academy requires that all student-facing faculty, staff, and administrators, subject to disability and religious accommodation exceptions under federal and state law, be up to date with their COVID vaccination, which includes any boosters that have been added to meet the CDC definition of “up to date,” which now includes the new bivalent booster.  Furthermore, although faculty will be expected to perform their duties in person, there may be some students who need to learn remotely, and so faculty may be required to teach in a hybrid mode—i.e., with some students in person and others online.

Phillips Academy is committed to equal employment opportunity and providing reasonable accommodations to applicants with physical and/or mental disabilities.  We value and encourage diversity and solicit applications from all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender expression, gender identity, age, physical or mental disability, genetic information, veteran status, military service, application for military service or any other characteristic protected by law.  Any offers of employment will be contingent upon successful CORI/SORI and fingerprinting background checks, as well as unrestricted authorization to work in the United States.

St. John’s College, Annapolis, MD, is accepting applications for tutors, full-time, tenure track positions on the faculty. 

In our four-year, integrated Program of Instruction, we study great books of the western tradition, including works in mathematics, natural science, literature, philosophy, history, politics, music, religion and theology. The organization of our classes enables us to approach the books in complementary ways: in seminars, we approach them solely through sustained, exploratory conversation; in the language, mathematics, and music tutorials, and in the laboratory, we approach them through detailed examinations of their teachings and their elements, as well as through associated practices such as experiment and choral singing. 

On account of the breadth of the curriculum, we encourage applications from candidates in many academic disciplines, in the humanities, social sciences, arts, mathematics, and natural sciences. 

For further information about the St. John’s Program of Instruction, please visit: https://www.sjc.edu/academic-programs/undergraduate, and the Statement of the St. John’s Program. 

For further information about teaching at St. John’s and applying to be tutor, please visit: https://www.sjc.edu/annapolis/personnel/annapolis-faculty-applicants. 

Teaching members of the faculty are inquisitive and committed to learning, as are our students. There are no departments: members of the faculty teach in all parts of the program and gradually acquire increased understanding in a variety of disciplines. As classes proceed through cooperative inquiry and conversation, where each learns from others, the faculty are a community of peers: there are no ranks, all are known as “tutors,” and compensation is calculated according to years of service. 

St. John’s is an equal opportunity employer, and committed to attracting and retaining a diverse college community. The College Leadership Statement on Diversity and Inclusion (April 2022) can be found here: https://www.sjc.edu/about/leadership/board-visitors-governors/task-forces/diversity-and-inclusion.

The Department of Philosophy and Religion at the University of North Texas invites applications for a full time, Senior Lecturer position as the Director of Jewish Studies to start in Fall 2023.

AOS: Jewish Philosophy and/or Jewish Religious Studies and/or Jewish Theology

AOC: Philosophy of Religion, History of Philosophy, Middle East Studies

The work distribution is 60% teaching and 40% service. This means the successful candidate will teach a 3/3 load, including introductory and advanced undergraduate religion courses, and the service portion of the workload will primarily (though not exclusively) consist of directing the Jewish Studies Program (JSP), the only JSP at a public university in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The JSP is an interdisciplinary program offering a minor and a certificate. As JSP does not have any of its own courses, a significant portion of directing the program involves making students aware of and interested in the Program, working with department chairs and their faculties to offer courses needed for the JSP minor and certificate, and ensuring those courses are offered in a manner that enables them to enroll at expected levels and students to complete the minor/certificate timely. Currently, there are 60 courses on Jews and Judaism across 11 of UNT’s departments, involving 30 faculty. Thus, the JSP Director will develop and manage undergraduate recruitment, retention, and graduation in the minor and concentration; contribute to the JSP curriculum, facilitate course scheduling and new course development; and organize outreach activities, events, and public lectures. The Director will also administer the Program’s seven scholarships and oversee its extensive library of over 2,600 books and 350 films.

The appointment is in the UNT department of Philosophy and Religion. We seek candidates who will complement and add to our strengths in social and environmental philosophy and religion. Our department is strongly committed to promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion in teaching, research, and service. Candidates from underrepresented groups in higher education, those with experience working with minoritized populations, and individuals with life experiences that have challenged them to know themselves as multicultural beings are strongly encouraged to apply.

UNT is recognized as a Minority- and Hispanic-Serving institution, and substantial proportions of our majors (approximately 50%) and graduate students (approximately 30%) are from diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds. A documented commitment to and engagement with diversity in all its forms is expected.

UNT has a highly diverse campus with a wide range of languages spoken in addition to English. We welcome candidates who have experience with HSI/MSIs and/or who speak Spanish, Vietnamese, American Sign Language, Chinese (Cantonese, Mandarin and other variations), Arabic, Tagalog, Farsi, French, or/and Yoruba.

Review of applications will continue until the position is filled.

The University of North Texas is an AA/ADA/EOE.
