The University of Virginia Arts & Sciences Corcoran Department of
Philosophy invites applicants for a tenure-track Assistant Professor or
tenured Associate Professor position.  We seek candidates with strong
research skills who are also committed to teaching.
Candidates  should specialize in the philosophy of neuroscience or be
engaged in research that draws on, or is otherwise closely connected with, 
work in neuroscience. This search is one of several being conducted this
year as part of a cluster hire in neuroscience as the University seeks to
expand its already strong cohort of researchers in this area. The
University has thriving graduate and undergraduate degree programs in
neuroscience as well as a strong undergraduate program in cognitive
science, and has recently established the UVA Brain Institute, a
pan-University research center.

 
In addition to research endeavors, candidates will be expected to teach at
the graduate and undergraduate levels and provide service to the
University, Department and professional organizations. The standard
teaching load is two courses a semester. Salary is competitive and
commensurate with experience and qualifications.

 
Review of applications will begin November 15, 2016. Candidates selected
for the shortlist will be interviewed by Skype and the finalists invited
for on-campus visits in early 2017. The appointment begins with the fall
term of 2017, with an anticipated start date of July 25, 2017.  Applicants
must be on track to receive a Ph.D. in the relevant field by May 2017 and
must hold a PhD at the time of appointment. 
 
To apply, candidates must submit a Candidate Profile through Jobs@UVa (https://jobs.virginia.edu), search on posting number
