Job Description

Assistant Professor of Philosophy - 000943

The University of Richmond Department of Philosophy invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor to begin in the 2025-26 academic year.

The Department seeks to hire a teacher-scholar whose research focuses on the history of philosophy and who is prepared to teach an upper-level course on Kant. The successful candidate will be expected to teach Introduction to Philosophy and Modern European Philosophy. We welcome candidates whose expertise will broaden the scope of our department's offerings, including the history of philosophy, and contribute to interdisciplinary programs based on expertise. The position carries a 3-2 teaching load.

Applicants must either hold a PhD in Philosophy or show credible evidence that they will complete the dissertation and degree requirements by August 1, 2025.

The University of Richmond is a private university located just a short drive from downtown Richmond, Virginia. Through its five schools and wide array of campus programming, the University combines the best qualities of a small liberal arts college and a large university. With approximately 4,000 students, an 8:1 student-faculty ratio, and more than 90% of traditional undergraduate students living on campus, the University is remarkably student-centered, focused on preparing students "to live lives of purpose, thoughtful inquiry, and responsible leadership in a global and pluralistic society."

The University of Richmond is committed to developing a diverse workforce and student body, and to modeling an inclusive campus community which values the expression of difference in ways that promote excellence in teaching, learning, personal development, and institutional success. Our academic community strongly encourages applications that are in keeping with this commitment. For more information on the department and its programs, please see .

Applicants should apply online at and submit a curriculum vitae (including all graduate courses taken), cover letter, writing sample and separate research and teaching statements. The cover letter should describe the candidate's commitment to the teacher-scholar model and provide a brief summary of the candidate's research and teaching interests. The research statement should expand on the candidate's research agenda and expertise. The teaching statement should articulate the candidate's teaching philosophy, interests, and future professional development goals as well as involvement in and commitment to inclusive pedagogy. Candidates should specifically address their approach to teaching Modern European Philosophy and Introduction to Philosophy with the aim of generating student interest and sustained enrollments. Candidates for this position may be asked, at a later date, to submit letters of recommendation. Review of applications will commence October 25, 2024 and continue until the position is filled.
