Subject: Job opening at APA
The following position announcement is posted here in the hope
that it may come to the attention of some readers of HUMANIST who
are not APA members but have relevant qualifications. (It has
been mailed to all members of the American Philosophical
Association and published in shortened form in the July 27
CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION and elsewhere.) Computer facility
would be very desirable, in my judgment--it has extremely useful
to me in the past 8 years.
Anyone who has questions about the position and its
responsibilities is welcome to contact me by e-mail or phone
(addresses below). Application letters and correspondence about
the search should go to the address listed in the announcement.

disbursement and investment of Association funds, for preparation
of the publications of the APA, and for representing the APA in

education. He or she is assisted by a capable administrative

three Divisions. The position includes half-time appointment and

Delaware, on whose campus the national office is located.
Required: Ph.D. in philosophy or a related field. Highly
desirable: teaching excellence, record of publication,

leadership, and keen interest in the future of the discipline and
of higher education. Salary negotiable. Term of appointment:

agreement; renewable indefinitely. Applicants should send ten
copies each of (1) a letter outlining their qualifications and
goals; (2) a CV or resume; and (3) a list of 5 or more persons
who may be contacted to provide a reference to: Search

Newark, DE 19716. Members are strongly encouraged to submit
