CAMPUS SPECIFIC INFORMATION

The Ph.D. Program in Philosophy at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY) seeks a scholar at the level of Associate Professor with tenure who has achieved international standing through a substantial research record. The area of specialization is Logic. Additional secondary and tertiary areas of significant specialization are welcome. The Ph.D. Program in Philosophy is a major center for intellectual exchange and graduate training in the heart of New York City. The Program is ranked at the top of graduate programs in North America in areas that include logic, philosophy of art, and philosophy of mind. The Program also has deep ties with the Graduate Center's Saul Kripke Center, with which the successful applicant will hold a strong affiliation. As with other Ph.D. programs housed in the Graduate Center, the Philosophy Program features a small cohort of central-line CUNY faculty members who teach full time in the program and a much larger group of consortial faculty members who teach and advise students at the Graduate Center in addition to holding primary appointments at other colleges within the CUNY system. This arrangement provides our students with access to unparalleled breadth and depth in field coverage and approaches to scholarship, and enables the department to select the most accomplished researchers from the philosophers who teach at eleven senior colleges within CUNY.

This position is expected to begin in Fall 2027. The Associate Professor will report to the Executive Officer of the Ph.D. Program in Philosophy.
