Elon University is an equal opportunity employer committed to a diverse faculty, staff, and student body and welcomes all applicants. We seek a candidate, Ph.D. in hand (or with a defense date set), whose teaching is organic to their philosophical life and would complement and enrich the Philosophy Department’s areas of expertise and long-standing focus on innovative, engaged, praxis-oriented pedagogy. For more on our teaching practices, see our description of departmental signature pedagogies. AOS or very strong AOC: Environmental Philosophy (very broadly construed—we are open to a wide diversity of approaches, and would be particularly interested in human/non-human relations; race, poverty and the environment; environmental humanities; environmental activism; ecofeminism and ecocriticism; and philosophy of nature). Teaching responsibility will include 6 classes per year, typically including 4 introductory level classes and 2 upper level classes (one or both within Environmental Philosophy), and will include some courses in Elon’s General Studies program. Elon is a dynamic private, co-educational, comprehensive institution that is a national model for actively engaging faculty and students in teaching and learning in a liberal arts based residential campus.
