Position
Description
Yale-NUS College is a highly selective
liberal arts and sciences college in Singapore. Co-founded by
Yale University and the National University of Singapore, the
College is committed to excellence in research and teaching within
a full residential programme that integrates living and
learning. Its curriculum educates students in Asian and
Western intellectual traditions as well as current scientific
thought. A student body of 1000 undergraduates from over 70
countries engages with more than 100 outstanding faculty from
around the world through small classes and hands-on research.
Students and faculty also have access to the wider resources of two
world-leading research universities.
The College invites applications for a
full-time Lecturer position in Philosophy (Educator Track). The
preferred areas of specialization are (1) Chinese Philosophy or (2)
Formal Logic, Philosophy of Mathematics, or Philosophy of Science,
with a preference for candidates with demonstrated teaching
competence in both areas.
Applicants should have a relevant
Ph.D. A clear ability and passion for undergraduate education is
essential. The incoming faculty member would join a committed team
dedicated to the development and teaching of the Philosophy major

The successful candidate will be expected to teach five (5) courses
per academic year, including two courses in the Common Curriculum

The appointment will be for an initial
period of three (3) years, ideally beginning August 2021,
and with the possibility of contract renewal subject to good
performance and the College’s teaching needs. The appointee will be
expected to begin duties in time for the start of the 2021-2022
academic year (i.e., from July 1st, 2021, though a flexible start
date is possible).
Faculty receive internationally
competitive salaries and start-up grants as well as a yearly travel
and research allowance. They are able to access additional funding
