Duties include teaching one graduate course a year and 3-4 undergraduate courses, active research, dissertation and thesis supervision, student advising, and the usual committee work.
Candidates should have Ph.D. at the time of appointment, and possess competence in appropriate ancient and modern languages. Applicants should include: (i) a cover letter; (ii) a CV; (iii) a research dossier containing an outline of current and future research interests; (iv) for those applying at the rank of Assistant Professor, a writing sample in the candidate’s area of specialization, OR copies of two representative scholarly publications, for those applying for a senior rank position; (v) for those applying at the rank of Assistant Professor, three confidential letters of recommendation, submitted separately by recommenders to phil-searchcommittee@cua.edu OR for those applying for a senior rank position, the names of and contact information for three referees, who will not be contacted unless the applicant advances in the search process; (vi) for those applying at the rank of Assistant Professor only, transcripts of all graduate work; (vii) a one- to two-page personal statement indicating how the candidate, through his or her research, teaching, and service, would make a distinctive contribution to the University’s mission and to the vision of Catholic education outlined in the Apostolic Constitution on Catholic Universities, Ex Corde Ecclesiae. Questions may be addressed to John C. McCarthy, Dean, School of Philosophy, mccartjc@cua.edu. To be ensured full consideration, applications should be submitted by December 17, but the search will continue until the position is filled.
