The Philosophy Department invites applications for an Assistant/Associate Professor, beginning August 2008.  We are interested in scholars working in Philosophy of Technology (e.g., ethics/politics of emerging technologies) OR Engineering Ethics (e.g., in connection with environmental ethics and public policy).  We have an alliance with the College of Computing and Informatics (for ethics and critical thinking, as well as philosophy of mind and aesthetic computing) and we are developing a similar alliance with the Lee College of Engineering (in line with the NSF Program for Ethics in Engineering and Science).

Teaching load: two courses per semester, undergraduate and graduate.  Teaching experience required; Ph.D. required; publication appropriate to rank.  Research and service interests should enhance our ability to pursue external grants.

UNC Charlotte is a rapidly growing doctoral-level state university located in a thriving urban area with a student body of more than 22,000 and a full-time faculty of over 750.  The department currently has 14 full-time and 6 part-time faculty, plus we are hiring a Distinguished Professor in Business Ethics.

We offer a traditional and applied major, a Graduate Certificate in Applied Ethics, and an M.A. in Ethics and Applied Philosophy.  Our M.A. is linked to a number of Ph.D. programs on campus and we provide research ethics courses for many of them.  So we have a strong tradition of interdisciplinary studies involving all seven of the University's colleges.  We are closely affiliated with UNC Charlotte's Center for Professional and Applied Ethics, where the successful candidate is expected to be an active faculty associate.  Please visit our web site: www.philosophy.uncc.edu.
