Our ad is in the November JFP, and you can apply on-line here. Our current Fellow is Ben Laurence, a political philosopher who did his PhD at Pittsburgh, and last year's Fellow was Adam Hosein, a moral and political philosopher who trained at MIT. Here's the description of the post:
THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO LAW SCHOOL. The University of Chicago Law School seeks to appoint a Law and Philosophy Fellow for the academic year 2011-12. A Ph.D. in philosophy by time of appointment is expected, though in unusual cases a Ph.D. in a related discipline, or a J.D. accompanied by strong training in philosophy, will be considered. Applications welcome from post-2004 doctorates. Law degree (J.D. or foreign equivalent) is helpful, but not required. The Fellow's research should intersect with issues of interest to legal scholars. Examples would include work on normative concepts such as equality and justice; investigation of the philosophical dimensions of a substantive area of law, such as criminal law, constitutional law, sex equality, or property; research that bears on the legal dimensions of intention, proof, or agency; and work in general jurisprudence. The Fellow will be expected to contribute to the intellectual life of the Law School, pursue his or her research, and participate in teaching the Law and Philosophy Workshop or a seminar. Teaching duties are modest and will contribute to the Fellow's research. Salary $50K + benefits + superb research environment. To be considered a candidate for this position you must apply on-line through the University website by January 21, 2011 at http://tinyurl.com/22lc7kp. Resume, cover letter, writing sample, reference contact information and research statement should be submitted electronically on the web site at the time of application. Three confidential letters of recommendation should be mailed to Joe Pellettiere at The University of Chicago Law School, 1111 E. 60th St., Chicago, IL 60637 by January 21, 2011. The University of Chicago is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
