The Department of Philosophy at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University invites applications for an Assistant Professor, tenure-track position to begin August 2013. Regular teaching responsibilities will include courses in Ancient Philosophy and Medieval Philosophy as well as introductory courses in a variety of philosophical areas. All members of the Philosophy Department are also expected to teach regularly in the colleges' Common Curriculum, which includes a First Year Seminar course and an upper level Ethics Seminar required of all graduates. Both of these Common Curriculum elements offer opportunities for creativity in course design. The successful candidate will demonstrate an ability to help the Department fulfill its Common Curriculum commitments as well as its commitment to offer both Ancient and Medieval Philosophy regularly. Additional upper-level courses in Philosophy are also possible teaching assignments, depending on the candidate's philosophical interests. The department would also value enhancing its ability to contribute to interdisciplinary programs in Theology, Asian Studies (Indian Philosophy), Peace Studies, Environmental Studies, and Gender and Women's Studies. A strong commitment to the education of undergraduates, including promoting undergraduate research, is essential. Ph.D. prior to appointment is preferred, but those who demonstrate the ability to earn the degree within one year of appointment will be considered.

The College of Saint Benedict, a liberal arts college for women, and Saint John's University, a liberal arts college for men, are located four miles apart in Central Minnesota just outside metropolitan St. Cloud and 70 miles from Minneapolis. Both are Catholic colleges in the Benedictine tradition, which emphasize quality teaching and a commitment to intercultural learning.

The University Center for Human Values invites applications for Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Faculty Fellowships for the academic year 2013-14. Fellows devote an academic year in residence at Princeton to do research and writing about topics involving human values in public and private life. The program is open to scholars in all disciplines provided their research plans qualify. In recent years fellows have been drawn from fields including philosophy, political theory, literature, history, classics, economics and law, but this list is not meant to be exhaustive.
Fellows are expected to reside in or around Princeton and to be active contributors to the intellectual life of the Center. This includes participating in a weekly seminar attended by fellows and Center faculty to discuss work in progress and in various other seminars, colloquia and lectures sponsored by the Center. Fellows enjoy access to Firestone Library and to a wide range of activities throughout the University.
Candidates should have a doctorate or equivalent professional degree and a strong record of research publications appropriate to their career stage. Typically Fellows hold faculty positions at other universities or colleges; in exceptional cases we consider applications from independent scholars when there is a high level of scholarly achievement. This is not a post-doctoral fellowship program and we do not generally consider candidates who will have held the Ph.D. for less than two years at the time of appointment.
The fellowship period extends from September 1 to July 1. Fellows normally receive stipends of up to one-half their academic-year salaries (not exceeding a maximum set each fall). Ordinarily their home institutions provide a portion of their salaries in addition to all benefits, although this is not a requirement for appointment. Adjustments may be made for faculty members at non-U.S. institutions where salaries are significantly lower than in the U.S. Stipends for independent scholars will not exceed the maximum for fellows holding appointments elsewhere.
The main considerations in the evaluation of applications are the following:
• The significance of the proposed research and its relevance to the purposes of the University Center for Human Values (see http://uchv.princeton.edu/ for more information);
• The quality of a candidate’s previous research and the contribution the candidate is likely to make in the future through teaching and writing;
• The likelihood that the research would benefit from being conducted in the University Center environment.
HOW TO APPLY
Candidates should submit an online application at http://jobs.princeton.edu. Search for requisition number #1200390. The following materials will be required:
1. A curriculum vitae;
2. A scholarly paper (of no more than about 12,000 words) written in the past three years;
3. A statement (of no more than 1,500 words) describing the proposed research project; and
4. Contact information for three referees, including at least one who was not a graduate advisor. Referees will be contacted directly with instructions for uploading letters of reference.
These materials should be submitted online by Monday, November 5, 2012. We do not accept application materials by any other method. Letters of reference are to be submitted by November 7. The selection committee begins reviewing applications immediately and incomplete applications may be at a disadvantage. Decisions are expected to be announced by March 18, 2013.
Princeton University is an equal opportunity employer and complies with applicable EEO and affirmative action regulations.
