The Department of Philosophy and the Center for Comparative Studies of Race and Ethnicity at Stanford University invite applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position. We seek scholars with an innovative research program and a commitment to outstanding teaching with a specialization in philosophical aspects of the African-American experience who will make a substantial contribution to the research and teaching missions of the Department of Philosophy. Candidates whose work more broadly addresses issues of race and ethnicity in the US will also be considered. A Ph.D. is required prior to appointment. The successful candidate will teach four courses per academic year in the Philosophy Department at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, two of which will be cross-listed in the Program in Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity and in African & African American Studies (or other appropriate program). The successful candidate's home department for tenure review will be the Department of Philosophy.
