About this position
Cornell University’s Jewish Studies Program invites applications for a two-year residential Postdoctoral Associate in Jewish Philosophy based in the Department of Near Eastern Studies. The position is designed for a scholar whose work centers on Jewish Philosophy or places it in conversation with wider philosophical, religious, or intellectual traditions.
The fellow will pursue an independent research agenda while contributing to the intellectual life of both the Jewish Studies Program and the Philosophy Department. The appointment includes teaching responsibilities across Jewish Studies and Philosophy, with courses cross-listed in both fields. In the first year, the fellow will be in residence for research in the fall term and will then teach two courses in spring 2028; in the second year, the fellow will teach one course per semester.
The teaching profile is built around Jewish Philosophy at both introductory and advanced levels, including one introductory course and one upper-level seminar. The role also includes delivering a public lecture and participating in the scholarly life of the program and department.
This is a postdoctoral research-and-teaching opportunity at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.
