Jobs In Philosophy
The University Center for Human Values, the Department of Religion, and the Department of Philosophy invite applications for a postdoctoral position in the Princeton Project in Philosophy and Religion (PPPR). We aim to support a highly promising scholar who is trained in philosophy of religion, the religious thought of some historical period or culture, theories and methods in the study of religion, or related areas, in developing a research agenda in philosophy of religion broadly construed.
Postdocs in PPPR will be affiliated with the University Center for Human Values and invited to participate in its programs, as well as in the activities of the Departments of Religion and Philosophy. Candidates will be expected to contribute the equivalent of one course each year to the University Center and/or the Departments. This contribution may be fulfilled by teaching a course on a topic related to the philosophy of religion (subject to approval by Project Directors, the Department Chair or Chairs, and the Office of the Dean of the Faculty) or service to the Project or Center of some other sort, subject to approval of the Project and Center directors. If teaching a semester-long course, the successful candidate would carry the additional title of Lecturer.
Qualifications
Applications are welcome from candidates who have or expect to have a Ph.D. by the start date, September 1, 2020. Applicants should not have more than two years of postdoctoral experience by that start date. They may not be employed by another institution during the term of their Princeton appointment.
An applicant’s dissertation research need not be specifically in philosophy of religion, but a successful candidate will be expected to demonstrate a commitment to working on a research project in this area (again, broadly construed) during their time at Princeton. Applications will be evaluated on the basis of the applicant's previous work, the promise of the proposed research project, and the likelihood that the project will be enhanced by being carried out at Princeton. The capacity to contribute to the University's teaching program will also be considered.
Term of Appointment
The term of appointment is one year, normally beginning September 1, 2020, with the expectation of renewal for one further year assuming good performance. Applicants are expected to be in residence in Princeton for the duration of the appointment.
How to Apply
Candidates are asked to submit an online application at https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/12341 and include the following materials:
1. A current curriculum vitae;
2. A research proposal (not to exceed 1000 words). The proposal should include a title for the project as a whole.
3. A scholarly paper or dissertation chapter (not to exceed 10,000 words, not including bibliography) that best represents their scholarly achievement or potential;
3. A sample syllabus for a course (does not need to be in philosophy of religion);
4. Contact information for two recommenders, who ideally would add a sentence or two to their standard letters specifically commenting on the candidate’s qualifications for the proposed research project. Referees will be contacted directly by email with instructions for uploading letters of reference.
These materials must be submitted online by Monday, November 18, 2019, 11:59 p.m. EST. We cannot accept application materials by any other method. Letters of reference should be submitted by end of business day on Monday November 25, 2019. The selection committee begins reviewing applications immediately so letters of reference received after the priority deadline may put candidates at a disadvantage.
Decisions will be announced in late March 2020. This position is subject to the University's background check policy.
Princeton University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
The University Center for Human Values invites applications for the Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Professorship for Distinguished Teaching. We aim to make an appointment for the Spring 2021 term.
This visiting professorship was established as part of Princeton’s 250th Anniversary teaching initiatives, enabling the University Center to bring to campus excellent undergraduate teachers and scholars whose teaching and research explicitly examine values in public and private life. Candidates in all fields are eligible but special consideration for Spring 2021 applications will be given to scholars who have a demonstrated expertise in teaching political theory. This is a one-semester position (half of a nine-month faculty position) and brings a commensurate proportion of a full year salary.
Since the successful candidate must demonstrate an established record of teaching excellence, applicants should normally hold a tenured position in their home institution. Candidates who have received teaching awards will be given especially serious consideration, but receipt of such awards is not a necessary condition for selection if there is other evidence of outstanding teaching. The professorship is not intended for early-career faculty and we do not generally consider nominees who have taught for fewer than five years. We are keen to consider candidates who have been innovative in the classroom through their use of technology, although again this is not a necessary condition for selection. Princeton is especially interested in qualified nominees who can contribute through their research and teaching to the diversity and excellence of our academic community.
Visiting professors normally teach one undergraduate course, organize at least one event focused on pedagogy, and participate in seminars, colloquia, and other activities of the University Center for Human Values. They also enjoy access to Firestone Library and to a wide range of activities throughout the University.
The appointment committee will consider applicants on the basis of:
• The quality of their teaching and relevance to the purposes of the University Center for Human Values;
• The quality of their previous and proposed research and their ability to benefit from and contribute to the activities of the University Center for Human Values;
• The contribution they are likely to make to higher education in the future through teaching and writing about ethics and human values.
Applications
Interested applicants should apply online at https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/12902. The following materials will be required. The application deadline is Friday, October 18, 2019:
1. A cover letter describing the applicant’s interest in affiliation with the University Center;
2. A curriculum vitae;
3. A statement of the applicant’s teaching record in the last five-to-ten years listing courses offered and describing the evidence of distinguished teaching (e.g., teaching awards received and/or a summary of institutional teaching assessments);
4. A scholarly paper or book chapter accepted for publication within the last five years, ideally not exceeding 12,000 words (not including bibliography);
5. A brief prospectus of research to be undertaken at Princeton;
6. The names and contact information of three referees, at least one of whom should be able to comment knowledgeably on the applicant’s teaching record (in the event that their views are sought, referees will be contacted by the search committee).
The selection committee may request further information, such as institutional documentation of the teaching record, at a later stage.
We anticipate concluding the selection process by April 2020.
