PCC Faculty
The Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness (PCC) program at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) is seeking to appoint a creative and productive scholar in the interdisciplinary study of ecology (including the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities), effective fall 2008. The faculty member appointed as a result of this search will play a prominent role in the development of a new track in integral ecology. Women are strongly encouraged to apply.
The Integral Ecology track will pursue the study of ecology within the enlarged vision of philosophy, cosmology, and consciousness that characterizes the entire PCC program. Since at present the key factor determining the health of the Earth's biosphere is human behavior, many of the most important issues in a truly integral ecology lie in the areas of human thought, psychology, and culture. The search for solutions must include the transformation of human patterns that have become a threat to the entire Earth community, and the cultivation of new structures more harmoniously aligned with the natural world and the larger cosmic order.
The PCC program offers M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Philosophy and Religion. It is grounded in the shared belief that the ecological, political, and spiritual crisis of late modernity calls for a fundamental reorientation of our civilization, including a transformation of both our institutions and our own consciousness. The program is inspired by a three-fold vision: to revive the original essence of western philosophy as the love of wisdom, to pursue a truly multidisciplinary study of cosmology based on the evolutionary unfolding of the universe and the Earth community, and to explore the inner worlds of consciousness and the psyche. Central to the PCC vision is the conviction that these three aspirations profoundly overlap and affect each other.
The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D., college or graduate level teaching experience, a record of publication, and will complement the current PCC faculty. In reviewing applications, the committee will place high value on:
- Deep scholarly commitment to ecological studies and feminist perspectives.
- Science background complemented by an active interest in the humanities.
- Intimate relationship to the natural world.
- Commitment to the disciplines explored by the PCC program.
- Scholarly publication and engaged scholarship.
- Inspiring and effective teaching skills.
- Ability to mentor students and direct doctoral dissertations.
- Participation in PCC related community events.
Due to the unique nature of the program and the institution, candidates are urged to consult the PCC website at www.ciis.edu/pcc and the CIIS website at www.ciis.edu, to assess their alignment with the programmatic and institutional missions.
The position will remain open until filled.
Send cover letter, curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references to: Dr. Robert McDermott/Chair, Search Committee/Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness/CIIS, 1453 Mission Street/San Francisco/CA 94103. In addition, please send all application materials as separate attachments in digital format to jobs@ciis.edu.

Since October 2004 over 23,000 homeless clients have been connected to one of Project Homeless Connects "linkage stations" where they can receive medical treatment, substance abuse and mental health counseling, legal services, sign up for food stamps, GA and SSI benefits, links to housing options and get good food and other giveaways.
