position open in Morocco

If I weren’t already happily employed at the American University in Cairo, I would jump on this. And so should you, junior faculty member/fresh Ph.D., if the job market hasn’t gone your way this year.

Job Opening: ASSISTANT/ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR in PHILOSOPHY

The position is open now to be filled by August 2012 at the latest.

The School of Humanities and Social Sciences has one new opening in Philosophy.

The candidates would teach undergraduate introductory philosophy courses as part of the University’s liberal arts curriculum. They would also teach graduate courses within both International Studies and Islamic/Religious programs – especially important is the ability to teach ‘Philosophy of Religion’. Applicants must have a Ph.D. at time of hire. Teaching experience is desirable, but newly graduated Ph.Ds are encouraged to apply. A working knowledge of Arabic, French, or other discipline-relevant language would be considered advantageous. Applications will be processed until the position is filled.
