The University Center for Human Values invites applications from all disciplines for Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Professorship of Distinguished Teaching for 2010-11 and for 2011-12.
This visiting professorship was established as part of Princeton’s 250th Anniversary teaching initiatives, enabling the University Center each year to bring to campus one excellent undergraduate teacher and scholar whose teaching and research explicitly examine values questions in ethics, political theory, or any other discipline. Candidates in all fields are eligible; recent holders of the chair have been appointed in Classics, History, Politics, Philosophy, and Psychology. This ten-month position brings a full salary. Candidates who have received teaching awards will be given especially serious consideration, but this is not a necessary condition for selection.
Visiting professors normally teach one undergraduate lecture course, organize a teaching related event, and participate in faculty-graduate seminars, colloquia, and other activities of the University Center for Human Values. They also enjoy access to Firestone Library and to a wide range of activities throughout the University.
A selection committee of Center faculty evaluates applicants on the basis of:
- The quality of their teaching and relevance to the purposes of the University Center for Human Values;
- The quality of their previous research and their ability to benefit from and contribute to the activities of the University Center for Human Values;
- The contribution they are likely to make to higher education in the future through teaching and writing about ethics and human values.
How to apply:
For a professorship beginning in September 2010, applicants should submit all of the following materials online by Monday, November 9:
- A cover letter that includes evidence of excellence in teaching;
- A curriculum vitae, including a list of teaching awards;
- Three letters of reference
- A scholarly paper or book chapter written in the last five years.
