VAP in Philosophy at U. Cincinnati

My department just got approval to hire a one-year visiting assistant professor. It's a good spot, with the possibility of graduate teaching. The only downside is the 3-3-3 (quarters) teaching load --the Dean made us do it. But we do intend to keep preps as low as possible. If you're looking, you should certainly apply. Here's the ad:

University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH. One-year Visiting Assistant Professor to begin 1 September 2009. AOS/AOC open. PhD required. Introductory to advanced undergraduate, possible graduate instruction;  quarter system, 3-3-3 load. The successful candidate must teach  introductory lecture courses in philosophy through film, and contemporary moral and political ideas. The department has additional teaching opportunities in philosophy of mind, epistemology,  philosophy of law, feminist philosophy, environmental ethics, and business ethics. Minimal service  requirements. However, the visitor will be expected to participate in  departmental functions and generally contribute to the life of the department. The University of Cincinnati is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer. Women, minorities, disabled persons, and Vietnam Era and disabled veterans are encouraged to apply.  Applicants must apply online for job reference number 29UC4308. Applications must include a cover letter, CV, writing sample, names  of three individuals who will be sending letters of recommendation, and evidence of teaching excellence. Initial consideration of applications begins 15 June 2009. The position will remain open until filled. To complete the application proceess, candidates need to have 3 letter of recommendation sent via paper mail to Chair of VAP Search, University of Cincinnati, Philosophy Department ML 374, Cincinnati OH  45221-0374.

We'll do phone interviews and try to get the hire done as quickly as possible.

Students

What do you do when your grad students show up to seminar underprepared? Degree of difficulty: you have a distinguished professor in as a guest, trying to generate discussion.

Facebook, me, and philosophy and the life sciences

Finally, after much cajoling, I relented and created a Facebook page. You can see my profile badge to the left. Take a look. More importantly, I created a Facebook page for our "philosophy and the life sciences" group here at UC. I can't make a profile badge for it. Or at least I have yet to figure out how to do so. But you can find us on Facebook.

C. Kenneth Waters at Cincinnati Darwiniana

UPDATE: All fixed! (See iTunes, too!)

Ken Waters finished his nearly week-long visit with us last Friday. We ended it all with a nice dinner. Ken's week was good, and so was his talk, now available in podcast form here and on iTunes:

Tuning up for Mike Dietrich come 11 May. But first, me and the fam are taking a quick weekend down to Louisville --just to get the heck out of here.

Cincinnati Darwiniana Podcast

Moving to the front: because iTunes hates me.

John Beatty's talk, "The Details Left to Chance: Evolutionary Contingency from Charles Darwin to Stephen Jay Gould (and Beyond)," in my department's Cincinnati Darwiniana speaker series is now available for download (in mv4).


I expect the podcast to be available at iTunes soon --it's presently under review. And, of course, there will be four more.

Second Podcast for Cincinnati Darwiniana

Roberta Millstein's talk from 15 April, "Towards a Concept of 'Population' for Evolutionary Biology and Ecology" is now available as a podcast. Cincinnati Darwiniana rolls. (John Beatty's lecture is available on iTunes; this one will be soon.)


Thanks for watching!
