DEPARTMENT: Philosophy WEBSITE: https://www.elon.edu RESPONSIBILITIES: Assistant Professor, Tenure-Track. The Philosophy Department of Elon University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in philosophy, beginning mid-August 2023. 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 firmly set, whose teaching is integral to their philosophical life and who would expand, complement and enrich the Philosophy Department’s areas of expertise and long-standing focus on innovative, engaged, praxis-oriented and relationship rich pedagogies. We view and structure our department around a vision of teaching as a shared, collective, on-going enterprise. For more on our teaching practices, see our description of departmental signature pedagogies. AOS/AOC: Critical Canon Studies and History of Philosophy. By a focus on “Critical Canon Studies,” we seek a candidate who engages with the canon, but challenges its authoritative/disciplinary nature through one or more (or the intersection of multiple) critical lenses, including but not limited to critical disability philosophy, critical race philosophy, decolonial philosophy, non-Western philosophy and trans/queer philosophy. Teaching responsibilities include 6 classes per year, typically including 4 introductory level classes and 2 upper level classes (at least one with an explicitly historical theme), as well as courses in Elon’s Core Curriculum.
