Placement

The Philosophy Department offers comprehensive guidance and support to its Ph.D. students when they seek academic employment. The Department’s placement advisor holds informational meetings for job candidates, offers detailed advice about their application materials, and oversees the assembly of their dossiers. The Department also schedules practice interviews for new job candidates, as well as a “Graduate Research Colloquium” at which they each present results of their research to the entire Department; these events replicate, as far as possible, a regular philosophy talk, providing valuable feedback for candidates as they prepare for on-campus interviews. The Department provides placement support to its Ph.D. students until such time as they receive an offer of continuing academic employment (a tenure-track position or equivalent).

Our placement results in recent years compare favorably with those of other leading graduate programs in philosophy. In fact, the 2017 Academic Placement Data and Analysis, funded by the American Philosophical Association, places us among the very best when judged by metrics such as placements into tenure-track positions at leading research institutions.

Placements for Ph.D. recipients since 1997 (including students from the Group in Logic and Methodology of Science who have specialized in philosophy) are listed below. Offers tendered but not accepted are shown in gray. Offers are tenure-track unless otherwise noted.
