Job description

The School of Philosophy at The Catholic University of America invites applications for a tenure-track position in the philosophy of science at the rank of assistant professor, to begin in August 2016.

We seek candidates who understand, are enthusiastic about, and will make a significant contribution to the mission of the University, which reads as follows:

“As the national university of the Catholic Church in the United States, founded and sponsored by the bishops of the country with the approval of the Holy See, The Catholic University of America is committed to being a comprehensive Catholic and American institution of higher learning, faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ as handed on by the Church. Dedicated to advancing the dialogue between faith and reason, The Catholic University of America seeks to discover and impart the truth through excellence in teaching and research, all in service to the Church, the nation and the world.”

Candidates able to direct dissertations in Aristotelian/Thomistic philosophy of nature are strongly preferred. Duties include teaching 5 courses per year (3-2 per semester), undergraduate and graduate, active research, dissertation and thesis supervision, and usual committee work. Candidates should expect to have the Ph.D. in hand at the time of appointment, and be competent in all appropriate ancient and modern languages.


Applications should include:

  1. A cover letter;
  2. A curriculum vitae;
  3. Transcripts of all graduate work (scanned copies, rather than official transcripts, will suffice);
  4. A writing sample;
  5. Three letters of reference, submitted separately by recommenders; and
  6. A one- to two-page personal statement indicating how the candidate, through his or her research, teaching, and service, would make a distinctive contribution to advancing the University’s mission.

Applications should be submitted electronically via Academic Jobs Online: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/6578 

Questions may be addressed to John C. McCarthy, Dean, School of Philosophy.

Applications will be reviewed until the position is filled. The School’s Committee on Appointments and Promotions will begin reviewing applications at the end of November.

The University will perform background checks on all new faculty hires prior to making the final offer of employment.

The Catholic University of America is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
