"Open Rank Tenure Track Faculty in Philosophy"

The Philosophy Department at Carnegie Mellon University seeks applications for a full-time, tenure-track appointment of any rank beginning Fall 2026. The department seeks candidates whose research interfaces significantly with that of the CMU-CLeaR group and the Tetrad initiative. While Areas of Specialization/Areas of Competence are open, candidates who work in Causal Learning and Reasoning, Philosophy of Science, Artificial Intelligence, Statistics, Machine Learning, Quantitative Social Sciences, or at their intersections are especially encouraged to apply. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience.

The Department of Philosophy strongly supports interdisciplinary and collaborative research. The successful candidate may have a PhD from any discipline, but must show significant engagement with philosophical or foundational issues. The standard teaching load is 3.5 courses per year over 2 semesters, both undergraduate and graduate courses, as well as other non-teaching responsibilities.

Applications are due by November 1, 2025. To apply, submit the following materials: a letter of intent; curriculum vitae; research statement; educational or teaching statement; 3 letters of recommendation; and one sample of research (e.g., draft paper, published paper or book chapter).
