The Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) Program in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is seeking to appoint a tenure-track faculty member –an Assistant Professor, or an early-in-rank Associate Professor — to serve as a core faculty member in our thriving Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Program and to take a leading role in developing and expanding the PPE Program.   The position will begin on July 1, 2023.  The successful candidate will likely have a primary appointment in the Philosophy Department, which houses the PPE Program and the PPE Society, although appointment in either Political Science or Public Policy is a possibility, depending on the candidate’s qualifications.
