AOS: Open

AOC: Open

Teaching responsibilities include both undergraduate and graduate courses; normally seven classes per academic year, but no more than 2 preparations per semester, and class sizes typically between 30 and 45. Minimum starting salary $50,000. Summer and winter teaching may be undertaken for additional pay. Candidates should be willing, with department support, to meet the department’s commitment to integrate the contributions of nonwhite and non-male philosophers, and non-Eurocentric philosophical traditions, into every course.

All requirements for the Ph.D. must be completed by June 30, 2024. (ABD candidates may be hired but would have the rank of Instructor and earn a lower salary until completion of the PhD.) Candidates must be eligible to work in the United States by August 1, 2024.

Please apply online attaching your cover letter and curriculum vitae to the online application. In addition, please submit the following documents by email to phil@louisville.edu: (1) unofficial graduate school transcript(s); (2) at least one sample course syllabus; and (3) evidence of teaching effectiveness, which may but need not include student evaluations of teaching. Further, candidates should arrange to have three recent letters of recommendation, one of which addresses teaching, sent separately to the same email address.

Review of applications will begin on May 17, 2024, and continue until the position is filled.

We expect to contact short-listed candidates by early June for the purpose of setting up video-conference interviews.
