Philosophy Faculty
The University of Mary in Bismarck, ND invites applications for two full-time faculty positions, one in metaphysics and one in ethics to begin Fall 2023. AOS and rank are open.
All faculty are expected to demonstrate a willingness to support and advance the Christian, Catholic, and Benedictine mission and identity of the University of Mary (see https://www.umary.edu/about/mission-identity).
Metaphysics
At the University of Mary, Metaphysics is a required course for both our philosophy majors and minors. The philosophy program seeks a philosopher to teach this course regularly with energy, rigor, depth, scope, and wisdom.
We welcome the opportunity to work with a philosopher whose specialty lies outside metaphysics. However, the AOC is firmly within metaphysics, since our need is for someone who will relish teaching this course. Other desirable characteristics include expertise in philosophy of science or other STEM fields, expertise on the relations between faith and reason, or competence in medieval philosophy or some other historical area.
Ethics
At the University of Mary, Ethics is a required course for all students. We are looking for a philosopher who can offer a transformative ethics course that is grounded in the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition. By “transformative,” we mean a course that provides students with resources for becoming good and living well, as these terms are understood by the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition. The philosophy program seeks a philosopher who will enjoy teaching this course regularly.
Nevertheless, given the need for a rigorous and attractive approach to ethics, we are looking for at least a strong AOC in ethics. Other desirable characteristics include expertise on the relations between faith and reason or competence in political philosophy.
Qualifications and Requirements Include:
• Ph.D. in Philosophy by time of employment
• Ability to teach Introduction to Philosophy, Ethics, and Philosophy of the Human Person for the University’s Core Curriculum
• Commitment to supporting formation outside the classroom
• Upholds and supports the Christian, Catholic, Benedictine mission of the University of Mary
