It’s a grim year for jobs in medieval philosophy, at least in North America. Joseph Stenberg has sent me the following account of what’s available. The deadlines for application have passed, which is intentional on my part, because I don’t want anyone relying on me to identify jobs in the field, but the list will, I think, be of interest to folk with only a casual interest in what’s available.

There are, of course, other positions that advertise an interest in history of philosophy more generally (see philjobs.org), but as far as medieval philosophy is specifically concerned, I’m afraid that this is it. As for jobs elsewhere in the world, I post these if and when I hear about them. There is (still) still no centralized place to get this information.
The good news is that there are still enough open positions to warrant a list; I personally don’t think there are such things as empty sets and much less do I believe that there can be empty lists.
