​
We seek an internationally known scholar who has made outstanding contributions as a researcher, teacher, and thought leader in philosophical ethics as it relates to agriculture, food systems, sustainability, resilience and community. Scholars working in areas of environmental justice and climate change, agricultural (or animal and/or land) bioethics, food sovereignty, health disparities, food justice, and similar fields are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate should also be positioned to be a leader in MSU’s new Ethics Institute as that initiative unfolds.

  • Actively supervising Master’s and PhD students in the departments where appointed.

The Department of Philosophy

The Department of Philosophy’s distinctive brand is “Engaged Philosophy,” which aims to expand philosophy’s traditional agenda, making the field more richly responsive to the multitude of voices and values in human communities, engaging philosophical reflection with the problems and resources of other disciplines, and grappling with pressing problems, both theoretical and practical. Diversifying the profession is an aim articulated in the mission statement of the Department. Faculty are teaching and doing research in areas of philosophy that concern diverse populations, including African American philosophy, feminist theory, environmental justice, and social justice. Since 1998 the Department has exemplified “Engaged Philosophy” by striving to achieve national and international distinction in research and graduate education in three related areas: Bioethics/PHL of Healthcare and Medicine, Feminist thought (e.g., in Bioethics, Epistemology, and Social and Political Philosophy), and since 2011 Environmental Philosophy and Ethics. We are especially welcoming to interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and crossdisciplinarity researchers and to inclusive frameworks that support a pluralistic conception of philosophical practice.

The College of Agriculture and Natural Resources

The first and largest college at MSU, with 12 academic units, CANR has a well-established national and international reputation for innovative research, education, Extension and outreach. The mission of the CANR is to enhance the quality of life for the people of Michigan and the world by advancing knowledge for the management of communities and agriculture, natural resources, and food systems to meet diverse human needs in a sustainable manner. This mission will be accomplished through learning, discovery and engagement. As a community, the CANR values: scholarship; providing service to others; cultivating and maintaining partnerships; balance among teaching, research, and Extension activities; a diversity of research programs ranging from fundamental studies to those addressing applied problems; promoting excellence and valuing academic freedom, diversity, equity, and inclusion; accountability to meet the mission and programmatic priorities; and the tradition of the land-grant mission, upon which MSU was founded.
 
Established in 1888 as the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station, MSU AgBioResearch (ABR) — funds fundamental and applied research for nearly 300 scientists in six MSU colleges, including many in CANR. ABR scientists work to advance healthy and resilient agriculture and food systems, natural resources and communities throughout Michigan and beyond.

Michigan State University Extension enjoys strong connections to CANR and improves lives through an educational process that applies knowledge to critical issues, needs and opportunities. Extension Educators collaborate with on-campus faculty members by taking the science, expertise, programs and resources of a great land-grant university to all residents of the state of Michigan and beyond.

Location: 

​The position will be based at Michigan State University in East Lansing, MI, USA.
