UCSD: Assistant Professor in Philosophy of Science

This should be a very attractive position:

The Department of Philosophy, University of California, San Diego (philosophy.ucsd.edu) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in philosophy of science, especially philosophy of physics. Duties include active research, graduate supervision, normal committee service, and classroom teaching at all levels, including general education courses, courses for undergraduate majors and graduate seminars. The standard teaching load is four courses per year. The appointment is expected to begin 1 July 2019.

Tenured professorships: Johns Hopkins University

The Johns Hopkins Department of Philosophy seeks three philosophers of outstanding international reputation to fill positions at the rank of tenured Professor or Associate Professor. Nominations, including self-nominations, are welcomed and encouraged, in all areas of specialization, but, I am told, particularly in areas of existing strengths. This includes philosophy of science and philosophy of physics. For more information, please visit https://philjobs.org/job/show/10710.
