University of Texas – Austin
The University of Texas at Austin’s Civitas Institute, a university-wide initiative to support the study of the ideas and institutions that sustain a free society, invites applications for multiple tenured or tenure-track faculty positions to be affiliated with the Civitas Institute and appointed in a relevant academic department within the College of Liberal Arts, McCombs School of Business, and/or Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs.
Launched in the summer of 2022, the Civitas Institute is a community of scholars committed to exploring the ideas and institutions that sustain a free society and enable individuals to flourish. It values independent thought, civil discourse, free speech, reasoned deliberation, and intellectual curiosity. Programming facilitates inquiry into the foundational principles of a free and enduring society: individual rights and civic virtue, constitutionalism and the rule of law, and free enterprise and markets.
The institute seeks outstanding candidates from a broad range of disciplines, including (but not limited to) political science, public affairs, philosophy, economics, and business, whose work speaks to the Civitas Institute’s broad thematic areas of interest: individual rights and civic virtue; constitutionalism and the rule of law; and free enterprise and markets.
Ideal candidates will have excellent records of scholarship and ongoing research agendas, will be valuable members of core academic departments or schools, and will contribute to the intellectual life, governance, and programmatic development of the Civitas Institute. Although preference is for advanced associate or full professors with tenure, exceptional candidates for appointment at the tenure-track assistant professor level will also be given full consideration.
