Dear
FEAST-list:
Thank you in advance for bringing the position described below to the attention
of qualified candidates.
The
Philosophy Department at Occidental College in Los Angeles, CA has a
tenure-track assistant professor opening, beginning August 2010. We will
be looking for someone whose areas of specialization include some or all of the
following: aesthetics (broadly construed, to include philosophy of literature,
film, art, music, media, and so on); applied ethics; philosophy of race;
non-western philosophy. Areas of competence are open. A completed
PhD in philosophy is strongly preferred by time of appointment. The
teaching load is five courses a year on the semester system, though first-year
assistant professors have a reduced teaching load of four courses.
Participation in the College's Core curriculum is expected. There are the
usual non-teaching duties. An ad for this opening has already appeared in
the summer web edition of Jobs for Philosophers and will be repeated in
later web and print editions.
Complete dossiers, including a
letter highlighting a fit with this job description, a CV, three letters of
recommendation, evidence of teaching excellence, and a sample of written work,
should be sent to:
Ms. Jacquelyn Moon,
Administrative Assistant
