Assistant or Associate Professor (EXPIRED)

The Division of the Humanities and Social Sciences at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) invites applications for a tenure-track position in philosophy, with the successful candidate to start in time for Caltech’s Fall 2016 term. The appointment will be at the assistant professor level; however, exceptionally well-qualified applicants also may be considered at the associate professor level. Areas of specialization and competence are open; however, we are looking for candidates whose research is informed by the empirical or mathematical sciences. This includes areas traditionally within the philosophy of science, such as philosophy of physics and philosophy of biology, but it also includes research in other philosophical areas (e.g. ethics or political philosophy) that employs empirical or formal methods, or that draws on scientific research.  We are seeking highly qualified candidates who are committed to a career in research and teaching.  The term of the untenured initial appointment is four years and is contingent upon completion of the Ph.D. degree.

Interested candidates should apply electronically at:  http://www.hss.caltech.edu/content/assistant-professor-philosophy

Candidates unable to apply electronically may send a letter of application describing their current research, a vita, a teaching statement, three letters of recommendation, and a writing sample to: Chair, Philosophy Search, HSS 101-40 Caltech, Pasadena, CA 91125. 

The deadline for applications is November 1, 2015. 

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
