Call For Applications: MAP International Organizer

Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) will be hiring two organizers to help direct MAP International. MAP is a collection of students in philosophy departments that aims to examine and address issues of minority participation in academic philosophy. It is currently comprised of 104 chapters and continues to grow and expand.

In addition, MAP has recently started to initiate collaboration with National High School Ethics Bowl. Organizers receive a modest honorarium for their work.

Criteria for applying:

• Must be a current graduate student
• Will be able to be an active organizer for at least 2 years*
• Must have been involved with MAP chapter and/or MAP-related or MAP-adjacent outreach (including Ethics Bowl)
• Additional organizing experience (e.g. with non-profit organizations, departmental service responsibilities, etc.) is a plus ​(please highlight in CV or statement of interest and indicate your role)
