Philosophy at MacEwan University emphasizes a grounding in the history of philosophy and a close reading of primary texts.

Comfort in a multidisciplinary humanist environment and experience making connections between humanist disciplines are assets. Preferred candidates will hold a Ph.D. in a relevant area of expertise and will demonstrate a primary commitment to undergraduate teaching and an ongoing research program. 

Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching dossier (including recent teaching evaluations), statement of research interests, sample of scholarly work, academic transcripts, along with the names and contact information of three professional referees. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted by the Department Chair to provide three (3) letters of reference sent directly from referees.
