The Department of Philosophy at the Iona College invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track assistant professor position in philosophy, starting August 15, 2018.
The teaching requirements associated with the position are various and include core courses in moral philosophy, but the department is particularly interested in candidates prepared to teach (i) a popular philosophy of science course that plays a major role in the college’s core curriculum and (ii) a course in the philosophy of psychology and neuroscience which is a requirement for our newly launched neuroscience minor concentration.
The standard teaching load is 8 courses/year (4/semester); initial tenure-track appointment is for 7 courses/year (4-3 teaching load). Under ordinary circumstances, the number of course preps will be kept to no more than two/semester. Full-time faculty members are expected to attend department meetings and advise students as necessary.
Required Skills
ABD candidates will be considered, but an earned Ph.D. in philosophy is required at the time of appointment. The ideal candidate will specialize in either the philosophy of science or the philosophy of mind.
Applications consisting of a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research plan, a statement of teaching philosophy, a writing sample, and letters of recommendation from three individuals who are familiar with the applicant’s scholarly achievements and teaching potential must be submitted via this website.
Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. The department expects to make up to one (1) such appointment for the 2018/2019 academic year (August, 2018 – May, 2019).
