More jobs for philosophers 10 Oct 201110 Oct 2011 Well there are as many jobs as there were before, but they are now accessible from another jobs site. Here’s the announcement: The PhilPapers team is pleased to announce a new online database of job ads in philosophy: PhilJobs. The database is to cover jobs in philosophy of all types from all over the world. It is searchable in many different ways (including AOS and geographic parameters). Search parameters can be saved and can be used to generate email alerts. Ads from PhilJobs will soon start appearing in PhilPapers’ content alerts and certain sections of the site. Posting and viewing ads on PhilJobs is free. David Chalmers has more details on the project here. If you are advertising a job in philosophy, we encourage you to submit the advertisement to PhilJobs. If you are seeking a job in philosophy, we encourage you to search for jobs on the site. Any feedback would be welcome, either through the feedback form on the site or through posting on the PhilJobs discussion forum. Philosophy
