Applications are invited for appointment as Professor/Associate Professor on tenure terms or tenure-track Assistant Professor in Philosophy in the School of Humanities (Ref.: 530599), to commence on August 1, 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter. Appointment as Assistant Professor will be made on a three-year fixed-term basis, with the possibility of renewal and with consideration for tenure before the expiry of a second three-year fixed-term contract.
Applicants should possess a Ph.D. degree or equivalent in Philosophy. The position is open to all areas of specialization, but applicants must have an interest in – and commitment to – pursuing teaching and research in philosophy or ethics of AI.
The appointee is expected to develop a vigorous, independent research programme, to excel in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and curriculum development, and to handle the usual non-teaching duties. Total teaching load will be three to four courses per year, including introductory first-year courses. Information about the Department can be obtained at http://philosophy.hku.hk. Enquiries may be sent to Professor Rachel Sterken, Chairperson of the Department of Philosophy (e-mail: sterkenr@hku.hk).
A highly competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience will be offered, together with contract-end gratuity and University contribution to a retirement benefits scheme at 15% of basic salary for fixed-term appointment. Other benefits include annual leave and professional leave, medical benefits, and free access to on-campus gyms and libraries. Housing benefits will be provided as applicable.
The University only accepts online applications for the above post. Applicants should apply online at the University’s careers site (https://jobs.hku.hk) and upload an up-to-date, anonymized C.V. (with name removed), three most significant recent publications and either reference letters or referees’ contact information and a cover letter including a description of how the applicant sees their previous or future work in relation to issues in philosophy/ethics of AI. Review of applications will commence from January 15, 2025 and continue until April 30, 2025 or until the post is filled, whichever is earlier.
The University is committed to diversity and inclusivity. The Faculty of Arts expressly encourages qualified persons of all genders to apply.
