Job description

Description
The Program of Liberal Studies (PLS) seeks to hire a tenure-track assistant professor in Philosophy beginning August 2027. Duties will include research, teaching and service. The area of research specialization is the text-based approach to History of Philosophy, with a preference for the Pre-Modern or Early Modern periods.
We are especially interested in applications from candidates with a broad liberal arts background. Teaching responsibility will be a 2-2 course load, including the Program's Great Books seminars and its three philosophy courses (tutorials): Philosophical Inquiry, Ethics, and Metaphysics and Epistemology (see our website, http://pls.nd.edu, for course descriptions). The candidate may also contribute to other disciplinary-based courses in the department as appropriate and will advise undergraduate senior theses.
PLS is a multidisciplinary, liberal arts department with roughly 125 undergraduate majors. Founded in 1950, it has its own tenure-line faculty drawn from different disciplines and committed to an integrated program of studies grounded in the reading of core primary texts. PLS students move through a seminar sequence from the ancients to the contemporary world and also take subject-specific classes in literature, philosophy, theology, fine arts, intellectual and cultural history, political theory, and the natural and social sciences. All PLS faculty teach seminars, as well as courses in their respective disciplines.
Qualifications
Candidates at the entry level must have completed all requirements for a Ph.D. degree or have completed all but dissertation in Philosophy or a closely related field with an expectation to have completed all requirements for the Ph.D. degree by August 2027. Candidates at the advanced level must have a Ph.D. in Philosophy or a closely related field. Strong publication program, evidence of superior teaching and readiness to lead seminars across periods and fields, and a commitment to undergraduate liberal arts education are expected. Salary and research support are more than competitive.
The University of Notre Dame seeks to attract, develop, and retain the highest quality faculty, staff and administration. The University is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, sex, disability, veteran status, genetic information, or age in employment.

We strongly encourage applications from candidates attracted to a university with a Catholic identity.

Please submit a cover letter, CV, three confidential letters of recommendation, and a scholarly writing sample (maximum of circa 10,000 words). Before applying, candidates are strongly encouraged to consult the department website (http://pls.nd.edu) and the university mission statement (https://www.nd.edu/about/mission/). Questions about the position may be addressed to Prof. Christopher Chowrimootoo, Chairperson, Program of Liberal Studies, prlibst@nd.edu.
Deadline: Apply by October 1, 2026, to guarantee full consideration, though applications will be considered until the position is filled.
