We seek an internationally known scholar who has made outstanding contributions as a researcher, teacher, and thought leader in philosophical ethics as it relates to agriculture, food systems, sustainability, resilience and community. Scholars working in areas of environmental justice and climate change, agricultural (or animal and/or land) bioethics, food sovereignty, health disparities, food justice, and similar ?elds are encouraged to apply.

Developing a cohesive research program to advance scholarly understanding in agricultural ethics which will contribute to practical application, and to expand into areas of one's specialization. The individual's research and outreach program will result in scholarly output published in international, national, and regional journals and reports and support the University's mission and interests.

Conducting collaborative, interdisciplinary work with other faculty in related areas of applied and practiced ethics (e.g., bioethics, land ethics) and securing grant funding to support such efforts.

Contributing to the ethics training of students at the undergraduate and graduate level.

The Department of Philosophy

The Department of Philosophy's distinctive brand is "Engaged Philosophy," which aims to expand philosophy's traditional agenda, making the ?eld more richly responsive to the multitude of voices and values in human communities, engaging philosophical re?ection with the problems and resources of other disciplines, and grappling with pressing problems, both theoretical and practical. Diversifying the profession is an aim articulated in the mission statement of the Department. Faculty are teaching and doing research in areas of philosophy that concern diverse populations, including African American philosophy, feminist theory, environmental justice, and social justice. Since 1998 the Department has exempli?ed "Engaged Philosophy" by striving to achieve national and international distinction in research and graduate education in three related areas: Bioethics/PHL of Healthcare and Medicine, Feminist thought (e.g., in Bioethics, Epistemology, and Social and Political Philosophy), and since 2011 Environmental Philosophy and Ethics. We are especially welcoming to interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and crossdisciplinarity researchers and to inclusive frameworks that support a pluralistic conception of philosophical practice.
