I am very, very happy that my brilliant friend Joshua Rasmussen, of Azusa Pacific University, has accepted a full professor position in Baylor's Philosophy Department starting Fall 2024.

Waco is a lovely place. Here is a bittern at sunset last week. The spot is an easy one mile bike trail-ride along the river from campus.

I’m very happy that Robert Garcia, an excellent metaphysician from Texas A&M, has accepted a tenured position in our department at Baylor, and will be joining us this fall.

Two jobs at Baylor

We have two full-time openings in the Baylor Philosophy Department. Both have open AOS and AOC.

One position is at the Associate (tenured) or Assistant Professor (tenure-track) level and the other is at the Assistant Professor (tenure-track) level.

• Job 2: roughly, non-LEMM and its history

Tim O'Connor coming to Baylor

We hired Tim O'Connor starting Fall 2017. It's very exciting for metaphysics at Baylor.

Write to me if you have questions about Baylor and Waco. If you're thinking of applying, you likely already know about the academic side of our Department, but I can answer those questions.

I think Waco is an amazingly great place to live. The costs of living are sufficiently low that we frequently have graduate students afford to buy houses (admittedly, not in the nicest of neighborhoods). The campus is beautiful and has good recreational facilities. I live across the street from campus, a five minute walk to the gym (free, with pool, 53ft climbing wall, exercise equipment), an eight minute walk to the marina on the Brazos river (free kayak, SUP board, canoe and sunfish rentals) and a twelve minute walk to the Department. There are great mountain-biking and hiking trails in Cameron Park, a really nice zoo, and a fine children's museum. Surprising numbers of people think Fixer Upper is a plus. :-) We are roughly equidistant between Austin and Dallas/Ft. Worth (about 100 miles from each).
