AUC philosophy job

Here is our JFP ad. Anyone can apply, but we are in fact hoping to hire one more Islamic philosophy specialist to help prepare for our coming graduate program.

You won’t find a job in academia that treats you better. The university makes it very easy to adjust to life in Egypt, and the internal grant funding (which I supervise myself qua Associate Provost) is the most generous I’ve found so far among world universities. And, this is a fascinating place to live.
