Job Summary
Job Summary
The Department of Philosophy at the University of Colorado Boulder invites applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level, to begin August 2027. We seek a philosopher with expertise in philosophy of language whose research bears on questions concerning artificial intelligence (AI) and who is also prepared to teach logic. We construe both philosophy of language and its connections to AI broadly. Candidates need not work exclusively, or even primarily, on AI, but their research should connect with questions about AI, whether theoretical, applied, or interdisciplinary, and need not be limited to large language models. We welcome candidates whose research connects philosophy of language and AI with other areas of philosophy. The position offers opportunities for interdisciplinary engagement on AI across a wide range of disciplines in the university.
We are looking for an original thinker and a productive scholar with a strong research profile who will take an active part in the intellectual life of the department.
The position comes with an option for a semester free of teaching pre-tenure.
CU is an Equal Opportunity Employer and complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment.
