The BPA is delighted to launch a set of resources for early career philosophers – these include custom-made tip sheets, recorded panel discussions, and sample job and postdoc application materials, as well as other guidance and resources. We hope these are helpful to those considering or pursuing careers in academic philosophy. Do share them widely!
We offer specific guidance on grants and fellowships, academic writing and publishing, hitting the job market, interviews and presentations, starting your first permanent job, mental health challenges in academic philosophy. For each, we offer a tip sheet and a recorded panel discussion with leading philosophers.
We also include some sample job and postdoc application materials to offer examples for those writing their own.
