Faculty Position in Philosophy

The Department of Philosophy at the Central European University invites applications for a full-time position as assistant professor.

The Central European University (www.ceu.hu) is a graduate 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.

CEU promotes a comparative, interdisciplinary scholarly approach that integrates the Central and Eastern European region and the former Soviet Union into a wider, global perspective. CEU faculty members are encouraged to engage in high-level research and the university supports such research through all appropriate institutional means.

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.

Applications from candidates who are willing to make a long-term 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 August 2005.

Please send applications to the Rector of CEU, c/o Eszter Kotsis, Human Resources Office, Central European University, H-1051 Budapest, Nádor u. 9., Hungary (Fax: + 36 (1) 235-6135, e-mail: CEU-HRO@ceu.hu). The application package should include: C.V., a list of publications, a sample publication, a short statement about the applicant’s research plans, and the names and addresses of at least three referees.

Applications must be received by May 23, 2005 to be considered.

CEU is an equal opportunity employer.
