Hello FEASTers, My department is hiring for an unusual position: a 3-year post-doc focused on teaching philosophy. That is, it's designed explicitly to create the time and support needed for a newly minted PhD to improve their teaching skills in a creative, supportive environment. We're doing everything we can to end up with a robustly diverse application pool, so please do spread the word! (The job ad, which I've pasted below, will show up on the on-line JfP as soon as the APA folks get around to posting it...) Thanks Ann Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the Teaching of Philosophy. Elon University invites applications for a 3-year, non-renewable Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the Teaching of Philosophy, beginning mid-August 2012. Elon University is an equal employment opportunity employer committed to a diverse faculty, staff and student body and welcomes applicants from underrepresented groups. AOS/AOC open. The Fellowship is designed as an intensive incubator of teaching skills and a philosophical engagement with teaching as a subject of reflection, systematic and venturesome experimentation, practice, and research. We seek a recent PhD (no earlier than 2009) whose teaching is organic to his or her philosophical life and who seeks to strengthen already promising teaching skills in our energetic and collaborative department and university. Fellows teach five courses per year, participate in departmental activities as well as offerings of Elonšs Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning, and enjoy university privileges of Visiting Professors (including eligibility to apply for some internal grants). Fellows may expect mentoring and institutional support as they engage in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning while also pursuing scholarship in their areas of specialization. Teaching includes introductory and upper-level courses in Philosophy and courses in Elonšs General Studies Program. Elon is a dynamic private, co-educational, comprehensive institution that is a national model for actively engaging faculty and students in teaching and learning.
