Mellon Foundation

Program Officer, Higher Learning

The Mellon Foundation (“Foundation”) is a not-for-profit, grant-making organization that believes that the arts and humanities are where we express our complex humanity, and that everyone deserves the beauty, transcendence, and freedom to be found there. Through our grants, we seek to build just communities enriched by meaning and empowered by critical thinking, where ideas and imagination can thrive. The Foundation makes grants in four core program areas — Higher Learning, Arts and Culture, Public Knowledge, and Humanities in Place — and through its signature Presidential Initiatives. The Foundation seeks a Program Officer for its Higher Learning team.

Program Overview: 

The Higher Learning program strives to make advanced humanities knowledge as broad, deep, and varied as possible, in terms of both the perspectives it represents and the audiences it reaches. Understanding such optimized knowledge to be an intrinsic social good, we work with colleges, universities, and allied organizations to ensure that its value is widely recognized and that the power deriving from it is equitably distributed. We support curricular, scholarly, and structural innovations that further these goals, at all levels of the higher-ed system.

Higher Learning’s program strategies are to:  

• Provide liberal arts educational opportunities to the widest possible share of the population, including postsecondary students at all levels who would benefit from intensive humanities study
• Elevate the knowledge that informs more complete and accurate narratives of the human experience
• Broaden the range of perspectives in US academic faculties and institutional leadership while championing humanities expertise

Recent examples of projects funded through the Higher Learning program include “Making Humanities Education Accessible for Post-Traditional College Students,” “LatinTX: Place, Race, and Latinx Critical Environmental Justice in Texas,” and "Crossroads Cohort: Africana Studies at the Intersection of Art History and Art Making." Please visit the Foundation’s grants database to see all of the grants made through Higher Learning to mid-2024.

• Serve as an informed thought partner and problem solver with fellow program officers, program staff, Foundation leadership, and grantees to shape and improve Mellon’s programmatic impact.
• Stay engaged and informed about developments across the humanities.
• Perform as a superbly collegial and intensely collaborative member of the program team and of the Foundation.
• Provide supportive mentorship to program staff members and direct supervision to 1-2 program staffers.

We seek an outstanding scholar with strong commitments to excellent undergraduate teaching and mentorship in a liberal arts context. Candidates should have completed a Ph.D. in philosophy, or provide evidence that the degree will be completed before starting the position.

The position carries a standard five-course annual teaching load. The duties of the position include the three main areas of faculty work: teaching, professional achievement, and governance and engagement. The standards of excellence for faculty at Bates are articulated in Article II of the faculty handbook, and include a commitment to inclusive and evidence-based pedagogy, impactful professional work, and contributions to the broader Bates community. The successful applicant will offer courses in philosophy each year, provide academic advising, and mentor student theses. Successful candidates will be expected to develop a signature and independent research program. We also expect the candidate to take part in our system of shared governance.

Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2025, and continue until the position is filled. Applicants should submit the following:

• a teaching statement that describes how the applicant meets Bates’ standards of excellence in terms of inclusive and evidence-based pedagogy
• a research plan that speaks to the current and future promise of a candidate’s professional work
• letters of recommendation from three referees

Given the wide range of backgrounds of Bates students, we seek candidates who are committed to each student’s success. As part of the submitted statements, we ask that candidates share plans for helping all students succeed, and share evidence of relevant preparation or experience. This can be either in a separate, additional document or integrated into the teaching and research statements. Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a background check and verification of degree. 

Bates College is a residential liberal arts college in Lewiston, Maine—a diverse and growing community roughly 45 minutes from Portland, 2 ½ hours north of Boston, and 4 ½ hours south of Montreal. Faculty scholarship and creative work at Bates are robustly supported by start-up packages,  internal grants, and a well-staffed external grants office. Community-engaged learning and study abroad are both broadly encouraged and supported; pedagogical development and innovation is further buttressed by the Center for Inclusive Teaching and Learning.

Educational access and racial justice are central to Bates’ history and mission and our faculty-led initiatives reflect this commitment. We encourage applications from individuals from historically marginalized groups and from those who may have followed non-traditional pathways to higher education due to societal, economic, or academic circumstances.

Funded PhD Position in Philosophy: Population Ethics and Nonhumans

Institution: Lingnan University, Department of Philosophy

Location: Hong Kong

Supervisor: Dr. Gary O’Brien

Start date: January 2026 (later starting date may be possible)

Duration: 3 years

Application deadline: 6th of October 2025 for full consideration

Project Overview

Applications are invited for a funded PhD position in philosophy at Lingnan University, under the supervision of Dr. Gary O’Brien. The student will contribute to the GRF-funded project “Population Ethics and Nonhumans”, which investigates the ethical and axiological issues arising when our actions affect which nonhuman beings exist, in what numbers, and with what kinds of welfare. This includes wild and domesticated animals, and potentially future sentient digital beings.

The project sits at the intersection of population ethics, animal ethics, environmental ethics, and AI ethics. It challenges conventional population axiologies (e.g., Totalism, Averagism, Critical Level views) for their inability to accommodate the value of biodiversity and the distinctive moral concerns raised by the creation of nonhumans. For more information on the project see www.garyobrienphilosophy.com/research

The PhD candidate will develop their own research within this domain. This might involve:

- exploring how standard theories in population ethics fail when applied to animals or digital beings

- developing new axiological frameworks that can better accommodate nonhumans

- addressing the ethics of creating beings with lower welfare or engineered preferences

- analyzing the implications of biodiversity loss, animal population engineering, or artificial sentience from a population-ethical perspective

-exploring the ethical issues surrounding wild animal welfare

-other issues related to the creation of animals e.g. animal farming/breeding, genetic modification of animals, ‘de-extinction’, introducing animals to new habitats etc. 

There is significant scope for the candidate to define their own focus within this framework.

Eligibility

Applicants must have:
- a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Philosophy or a closely related field by the start date (for exceptional candidates a BA and evidence of research ability may be sufficient)
- demonstrable interest or background in at least one of the project’s thematic areas (e.g., population ethics, animal/environmental ethics, AI ethics)
- strong analytical skills and excellent written English
- experience or interest in analytic moral philosophy, ideally including population ethics and animal ethics

Supervision and Environment

Dr. Gary O’Brien is a Research Assistant Professor at Lingnan and a Research Fellow at the Hong Kong Catastrophic Risk Centre. His work has appeared in Utilitas, Journal of Moral Philosophy, Journal of Ethics, and Journal of Applied Philosophy, among others. He specializes in applied ethics, animal ethics, and population ethics.

The Department of Philosophy at Lingnan University is a leading center for analytic philosophy in East Asia, with active research strengths in ethics, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and political philosophy.

Funding Details

- Monthly stipend of HKD $19,280 before confirmation of candidature, rising to HKD $19,660 after confirmation of candidature
