Job description

The Department of Philosophy at Carleton College invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor starting on September 1, 2027. Members of groups traditionally under-represented in Philosophy are encouraged to apply.
AOS: Philosophy of computing and/or AI ethics and/or philosophy of technology and/or philosophy of data science and/or data ethics
AOC: Logic and/or formal epistemology
The Philosophy Department seeks candidates with potential for high-quality scholarship and a commitment to excellent teaching in a liberal arts setting. While candidates who have substantially completed their PhD will be considered, a PhD must be completed before the start of employment. The teaching load for this position is 5 courses a year on a trimester calendar (Fall, Winter, and Spring 10-week terms) with 4 courses in the first year of employment. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to teach a mixture of introductory- and advanced-level courses that should appeal to philosophy majors who are interested in technology, computer science or data science as well as students in other majors who are interested in philosophical approaches to these topics.
Carleton's Philosophy department is a collegial community with many events for faculty and students. Our faculty has regular joint colloquia and an annual retreat with the philosophy department at St. Olaf College College, also in Northfield, MN. Our faculty are affiliated with other programs and departments at Carleton, such as Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies, Statistics and Data Science, or Cognitive Science and have interdisciplinary research interests. Our majors have gone on to graduate school in Philosophy, Engineering, Economics, Psychology, as well as medical school, law school, and have pursued non-philosophical careers with a variety of employers.
Carleton is committed to developing its faculty to reflect the diversity of our student body and American society. Carleton College does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, ethnicity, religion, sex, national origin, marital status, veteran status, actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, status with regard to public assistance, disability, or age in providing employment or access to its educational facilities and activities.
Carleton is a highly selective liberal arts college with a student body of approximately 2,000. Located in the thriving two-college town of Northfield, Minnesota, it is forty-five miles from the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, in easy reach of a vibrant metropolitan area that is home to three million people and rich cultural resources. For additional information about the College and the area, please consult the Information for Faculty Candidates page (https://www.carleton.edu/faculty-candidates/).
To apply: please visit the Carleton College Web site at go.carleton.edu/carletonjobs and complete the online application, including a cover letter, c.v., a research statement, a writing sample, and a teaching dossier (sample syllabi, a statement about teaching students with varied interests, experiences, and backgrounds in a residential liberal arts environment, and student evaluations if available) by November 1, 2026. After submitting your application, you will receive a request for the contact information for three references, including at least one who is able to specifically address teaching experience. We will conduct first-round interviews via videoconferencing in December.
The expected starting salary range for this position is $87,480 - $93,290. Actual pay will be adjusted based on job-related factors permitted by law, such as experience and training; licensure and certifications; market factors; departmental budgets; and responsibility. Carleton also offers a robust suite of benefits including:
  • A generous 403(b) retirement plan with a 10% employer contribution and 2% employee contribution
  • Medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for all employees
