research-intensive university specializing primarily in the social 
sciences and humanities, located in Budapest, Hungary and chartered as a 
degree-granting institution in the United States and in Hungary. CEU's 
primary mission is to promote academic excellence, state of the art 
research and civic commitment, so as to contribute to the development of 
open societies in Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and
 
other emerging democracies. CEU offers both master's and doctoral 
programs, and it enrolls about 1000 students from more than 60 countries,
 
including all former communist countries. The teaching staff consists of 
around 100 faculty members from more than 30 countries. The language of 
instruction is English. The philosophy department, however, presently 
offers only a Ph. D program, admitting an average of eight students per 
year. There are students from most of the major countries in the region, 
and the program is based on the American model.

The position is for an assistant professor. All candidates must have a 
Ph.D. or equivalent degree. We are particularly interested in candidates 
with an expertise in philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, 
epistemology, metaphysics or philosophy of science.

commitment to working and living in the region are particularly welcome. 
The initial appointment is for 4 years and is renewable. Salary and 
benefits are dependent upon qualifications and experience. The 
compensation package is subject to Hungarian taxation regulations. The 
university assists its employees who are not citizens or permanent 
residents of Hungary to obtain the work permit. The position is open from
