Rank: Assistant or Associate Professor

 

Salary: Competitive, commensurate with qualifications. Generous health, retirement and other benefits, including domestic partner benefits

 

Requirements: Ph.D. in Philosophy, or all doctoral requirements completed by 8/1/09.  Demonstrated potential for publishing research.  Should be able to teach critical thinking.

AOCs open, but we have special interest in Cognitive Science, Philosophy of Biology, History of Ethics and Political Philosophy, Philosophy of Law, and Race Theory.

 

Duties include scholarly research, with high-quality publication expected, and important roles in supervising master's theses, advising, committee service, and curricular development. The University provides opportunities for support of both research and teaching projects. We value collaborative work among philosophers and with scholars in other fields.

 

The Department of Philosophy offers two B.A. degrees (in Philosophy and in Philosophy and Religion) and the M.A. degree (in Philosophy), a Pre-Law emphasis, and a rich array of courses. Additional information can be found on the Department's web site: http://www.sfsu.edu/~phlsphr/employment.html.  For information about San Francisco State University, see http://www.sfsu.edu/.

 

Application: Send a current c.v., application letter (with email address), at least three letters of recommendation, writing sample, and evidence of potential for successful teaching and scholarly achievement.  Qualified individuals wishing to be considered for both positions should so indicate. Review of applications begins mid-October 2008 and continues until positions are filled. We will interview at the 2008 Eastern Division APA meeting and invite finalists to campus.
