The Department of Philosophy at Lawrence University invites applications for the Postdoctoral Fellow of Philosophy and Uihlein Fellow of Ethics to begin in September 2019. The successful candidate must be able to teach courses in ethics (broadly construed) that will complement existing department strengths and contribute to interdisciplinary programs on campus.  In particular, the candidate must be able to contribute to Lawrence’s interdisciplinary program in Biomedical Ethics by teaching Introduction to Biomedical Ethics and Advanced Biomedical Ethics.  The candidate will also be expected to contribute to Lawrence’s Freshman Studies Program. The initial appointment is for two years with a reduced teaching load. Instead of the usual six courses per year on a 10-week term system (2 courses each term), the fellow will teach three courses in the first year and four in the second (at least one course per term) to provide time to pursue research and develop excellence in undergraduate teaching.
We encourage applications from individuals who will help us create a more inclusive Lawrence by: (1) further diversifying the faculty; and/or (2) demonstrating experience with successful diversity-related initiatives, creative activity or research; and (3) showing interest in developing inclusive pedagogy to address the needs of a diverse student body. See http://www.lawrence.edu/admissions/about for more information about Lawrence and its surrounding community, including the New North Regional Guide which lists resources that promote diversity in the community.
Applicants must complete all requirements for the Ph.D. prior to September 1, 2019 and no earlier than September 1, 2014. Please include a letter of application, CV, sample of writing, evidence of excellence in teaching, a statement on your experience related to addressing issues of diversity and inclusion in an academic setting and ways that you could contribute to these efforts at Lawrence, and letters of recommendation. Materials must be submitted by May 3rd.

The Department of Philosophy at Southwestern University seeks a full-time, benefits-eligible Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy with an emphasis in Feminist Theory to begin August 2019. This is a one-year position, with a second and third year appointment contingent on satisfactory performance. We are particularly interested in applicants whose teaching and research includes Chicana, Black, or other non-white/western feminist traditions. Our department, while small, offers a broad, historically grounded philosophy program, which strives to model a range of interdisciplinary approaches to the teaching and study of philosophy, situating philosophical ideas in their social, political, and cultural contexts, while critically evaluating the methods and practices of contemporary thought. We are therefore seeking applicants interested in not only teaching specific courses in feminist theory but in broadly integrating feminist and other critical lenses on the western tradition across the curriculum. We are seeking an individual with a demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion as intrinsic aspects of excellence in teaching, mentoring, and scholarship.
 
The annual courseload includes six sections of five separate undergraduate courses, including introductory and upper-level topics courses, with the repetition of many courses in subsequent two years. Courses are capped at 25 students. We welcome novel approaches to traditional classes, as well as ideas for new courses. This position includes opportunities for both.
 
Qualifications include Ph.D. prior to appointment or ABD in Philosophy or a closely allied field. The successful candidate will demonstrate potential for interdisciplinary collaboration, including potential contributions to one or more of the university’s interdisciplinary degree programs (Feminist Studies, Environmental Studies, Race and Ethnicity Studies, Latin American and Border Studies, and International Studies). Evidence of excellence in undergraduate teaching is essential.
 
Southwestern University is a selective undergraduate institution committed to a broad-based liberal arts, sciences, and fine arts education. Southwestern enrolls approximately 1500 students and maintains a student/faculty ratio of 12 to 1. Located in Georgetown, Texas, 28 miles north of downtown Austin, Southwestern is committed to fostering a diverse educational environment and encourages applications from members of groups traditionally underrepresented in academia. For information concerning the University, visit our website at www.southwestern.edu. 
 
The University will only accept application materials through Interfolio at XXXX.  Qualified applicants should submit a CV, two letters of reference, writing sample, sample syllabi, and a letter of interest which explains the candidate’s approach to teaching at the undergraduate level, their experience with diversity issues, diverse students, and working in multicultural environments, and the relevance of philosophy to the contemporary world.  The department will begin reviewing applications immediately and continue until the position is filled. 

Beginning December 2018, we will post all job listings in this section of the website. For previous listings, see our home page.
