San Francisco State University
Two Tenure-Track Positions: in Modern Philosophy,
and in Epistemology and Metaphysics


The Department of Philosophy at San Francisco State University invites 
applications for two tenure-track positions, one in Modern Philosophy, 
and one in Epistemology and Metaphysics, at assistant or associate 
professor level, effective Fall 2005.

Qualifications and Duties:
Ph.D. in Philosophy. One position requires an Area of Specialization in 
Modern Philosophy (Descartes through Kant), and one position requires an 
Area of Specialization in Epistemology and Metaphysics. Other Areas of 
Specialization or Competence are open, but we have special interest in 
Feminist Philosophy, Logic, Philosophy of Language, Philosophy of Mind, 
Philosophy of Religion, and/or Philosophy of Science.  We welcome 
candidates for the Epistemology and Metaphysics position who also can 
teach courses in Modern Philosophy, and candidates for the Modern 
Philosophy position who also can teach Epistemology and Metaphysics.

The Department of Philosophy offers courses for undergraduate majors, 
general education courses, and graduate courses for the M.A. program in 
philosophy. Candidates should be able to teach critical thinking. Duties 
include scholarly research with publication.  The successful candidates 
will assume important roles in supervising master's theses/projects, 
advising, committee service, or curricular development. The University 
provides opportunities for support of both research and teaching projects.

Rank and Salary: Appointment will be at the rank of assistant or 
associate professor. Salary competitive, commensurate with 
qualifications. San Francisco State University, as part of the 
California State University system, provides generous health, retirement 
and other benefits, including domestic partner benefits.

The Department of Philosophy at SFSU has a rich array of offerings, 
including many courses that are cross-listed with other departments. The 
Department awards two B.A. degrees (in Philosophy and in Philosophy and 
Religion) and the M.A. degree (in Philosophy); minors in Philosophy, 
Philosophy and Religion, and Religious Studies; and a Certificate in 
Teaching Critical Thinking. Additional information can be found on the 
Department's web site: http://www.sfsu.edu/~phlsphr/employment.html.

San Francisco State University, a large urban university, is part of the 
23-campus California State University system serving a diverse student 
body in liberal arts, sciences, and professional programs.  The mission 
of the University is to create an environment for learning that promotes 
an appreciation of scholarship, freedom, and human diversity; fosters 
excellence in instruction and intellectual accomplishment; and provides 
broadly accessible higher education.  SFSU faculty are expected to be 
effective in teaching; to demonstrate professional achievement and 
growth through continued research, publications, and/or creative 
activities; and to contribute their academic expertise and leadership to 
the campus and community. The University does not discriminate on the 
basis of race, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, disability, national 
origin, or religion.

Application: Send a current curriculum vitae, an application letter 
(with email address), at least three letters of recommendation, writing 
sample, and evidence of potential for successful teaching and scholarly 
achievement.  If you specialize in both Modern Philosophy and 
Epistemology and Metaphysics, you need apply only once to be considered 
for both positions. Review of applications begins in October 2004,
and will continue until the positions are filled. We will interview at 
the 2004 Eastern Division APA meeting and on campus.
