Job description |
Job description: The philosophy department at Rice University, located in Houston, Texas, plans to fill a one-year visiting position at the Assistant Professor or Lecturer level, to teach courses in the history of early modern philosophy, and, possibly, a course in Kant and post-Kantian European philosophy. The load is two courses per term: one historical introductory course, a survey course in early modern required for the major, an upper-level course in modern philosophy, and one further course to be decided in consultation with the department Chair. To be considered at the Assistant Professor level, the candidate must already be employed at that rank elsewhere and must return to that position after the term of service at Rice is completed. Salary for a Visiting Assistant Professor is $50,000. For the Lecturer position, those with the PhD in hand at the time of application will be preferred, but candidates who will have the PhD prior to the appointment date – July 1, 2015 – will also be carefully considered. Salary for the Lecturer position will be $40,000. The person who fills the position will not be expected to do department or university service. Some limited funds for travel and research will be available. Rice University, an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer, is committed to diversity in hiring; women and members of under-represented groups are strongly encouraged to apply. Applications should include a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, writing sample, teaching statement, and at least three letters of reference. Applications may be sent by e-mail to [email protected] (subject line: Search C). Referees should also be instructed to send their letters to this address as well. Applications (and reference letters) may also be mailed to Search Committee C, Department of Philosophy (MS 14), Rice University, 6100 Main Street, Houston TX 77005, but electronic submissions are preferred. Deadline: April 10. Interviews of finalists will be conducted via skype or similar platform. Equal Opportunity Employer – Females/Minorities/Veterans/Disabled/Sexual Orientation/Gender Identity |
