The Department of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina at
Charlotte seeks an outstanding senior scholar as Department Chair.
The area of teaching and research is open.  Candidates must have: 1) a
doctoral degree in philosophy; 2) an academic record appropriate for
appointment with tenure in a Philosophy Department; and 3) a
commitment to promote diversity as a value in the department, college
and university.  While formal administrative experience is preferred,
applications from candidates whose work experience has prepared them
to do administrative work will be welcomed.  Credentials appropriate
for appointment at the level of Full Professor are preferred, and a
record of success in securing extramural funding is highly desirable.

The Department offers a major and minor, a Graduate Certificate in
Applied Ethics, and an M.A. in Ethics and Applied Philosophy.  Our
department has connections to other units across the university, both
at the graduate and undergraduate levels, and we are closely
affiliated with UNC Charlotte's Center for Professional and Applied
Ethics, with which the Chair will be expected to collaborate regularly
for campus events and initiatives. The Department is committed to an
intertraditional approach to philosophy, growth in the major and
graduate programs, and strong practical and engaged research.  The
ideal Chair will embrace and augment those commitments. (For more
information on the Department, including its vision for
intertraditionality, see our website: http://philosophy.uncc.edu.)
