The School of Philosophy at The Catholic University of America invites applications for a senior position in philosophy at the rank of tenured Associate or Full Professor. The AOS and AOC are open, but we seek someone with a strong interest in the history of philosophy whose research complements that of the current faculty.

We also 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.”

The normal teaching load is 4 or 5 courses per year, depending upon rank, undergraduate and graduate. Other duties include active research, dissertation and thesis supervision, and the usual committee work.
Applications should include:

  1. A cover letter;
  2. A curriculum vitae;
  3. The names of five individuals who could be contacted for confidential letters of recommendation; and
  4. 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/6618

Questions may be addressed to John C. McCarthy, Dean, School of Philosophy, [email protected].

Applications will be reviewed until the position is filled.
