The Department of Comparative Philosophy at Randolph College invites applications for a full time, tenure-track position, at the rank of Assistant Professor, focusing on ethics and/or the philosophies and thought traditions of Africa and/or Latin America.

Ours is a pluralistic department open to various approaches to philosophy. We teach students to grapple with their own habits of thought and those of others with the aim of critically analyzing assumptions, asking meaningful questions, and mapping landscapes of possible answers. We see comparison in philosophy as enlarging our vision and imagination and thus our capacity for negotiating difficult problems of self and society, which, ultimately, renders us capable of just engagement in the global public square.

The hired candidate will be expected to teach a range of introductory courses through advanced undergraduate courses in ethics, the history of philosophy, and non-Western thought traditions. The ideal applicant will also strengthen interdisciplinary partnerships across the college in one or more of the following programs: African and African American Studies; Art and Art History; Data Science; Environmental Studies; Health and Well-being; Social Justice and Activism; and World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures.

Teaching is central to faculty life at Randolph College. The College’s innovative TAKE2 curriculum includes four seven-week sessions in an academic year, with students typically taking two academic classes per seven-week session. Tenure-track faculty teach six courses per academic year, three per semester. In addition to teaching courses in the Comparative Philosophy department, the candidate would be expected to teach and advise yearly in Randolph College’s interdisciplinary Life More Abundant first year seminar. The responsibilities of this position also include engaging in scholarly activities, serving on college committees, participating in college service (such as coordinating our Ethics Bowl team), and assisting in the academic advising and continued development of the Comparative Philosophy program.

Randolph College, founded in 1891 as Randolph-Macon Woman’s College, is in Lynchburg, Virginia at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Randolph College has a longstanding reputation for excellence in teaching and a commitment to diversity and intercultural awareness. Randolph was recognized as one of the nation’s best and most interesting institutions in the 2022 edition of the Fiske Guide to Colleges and was ranked 12th in the nation for most accessible professors by the Princeton Review.

Applicants need to have a completed Ph.D. in philosophy, religious studies, or related discipline by the time of appointment.

The Faculty of Arts is the oldest and most diverse faculty on campus and is one of the largest research and teaching centres in Western Canada (www.arts.ualberta.ca). The University of Alberta, established in 1908, has earned the reputation of being one of the best universities in Canada based on strengths in teaching, research, and service. The University's main campus is located in Edmonton, Alberta's capital city. The University serves over 39,000 students in almost 400 undergraduate, graduate and professional programs (www.ualberta.ca).

The University is home to a diverse and welcoming community of over 1,300 Indigenous students from various Nations and communities; 4.2% of undergraduates in the Faculty of Arts self-identify as Indigenous. In 2022, the University's Indigenous Strategic Plan was implemented, reflecting an important step in our institution's commitment to reconciliation in post-secondary education and research, addressing the historical legacy of the residential school system and Canada's colonial history in a meaningful and lasting way. The University's principles and actions and its EDI Strategic Plan are underpinned by respect for the dignity, rights, and full participation of all those who live, work, and learn within the university.

Edmonton has the second largest Indigenous population and the fourth largest African-Canadian population of any Canadian city. Nearly 10% of Edmonton's population is of South Asian origin and 16% of East and Southeast Asian origin, with growing numbers of Edmontonians of Filipino, Latin American, and Middle Eastern origins. Edmonton's school systems, including but not limited to Edmonton Public School Board, Edmonton Catholic School Board and the Francophone school board of Centre Nord, offer French immersion and bilingual education for children in a range of languages such as German, Hebrew, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Punjabi and American Sign Language.
