The Department of Philosophy at CSU Sacramento shares this institutional commitment to diversity and is keenly interested in diversifying this year's applicant pool. Each year our search committee is tasked with assessing each applicant’s qualifications with regard to certain diversity criteria. Applicants are asked to describe their demonstrated commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equity in their teaching, research and service. While some applicants may find this requirement burdensome, we hope that it would give others an opportunity to highlight their own experiences in serving diverse student populations. We recognize that our department faces challenges shared with other teaching-focused institutions in hiring and retaining faculty from underrepresented groups because of our relatively heavy teaching loads. It may be helpful for prospective applicants to know that CSU Sacramento has offered (and is likely to continue to offer) new faculty a reduced teaching load of three courses per semester for the first two years. Our college and university supports its junior faculty in this and many other ways as they pursue their teaching and research goals. We would greatly appreciate your help in sharing our job ad with your group and professional networks especially with those who would be able to stand out in a diversity statement. If you have any questions about our search, feel free to reply to this email or contact us at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
