After the openings at the University of Toronto (2), York University (1) and British Columbia (1), here comes a new job ad for “non-European Philosophy” in Canada:

It seems an exciting moment to be in Canada!
The academia has its own etiquette and if you don’t know it, you run the risk to make stupid mistakes. The following lines are therefore meant for outsiders in order to help them avoiding such formal blunders.
From time to time I receive an email from a student from outside Europe (usually South Asia, but once from the US) who would like to gain a PhD in Europe and often ask whether I could supervise them at one of the Universities I am connected to. Since the pattern has some basic elements which always repeat themselves, I think it is useful to address some of these general points, hoping to help such prospective students.
The department of philosophy of the York University in Toronto, Canada, opened a position for Associate Professor whose AOS include Asian Philosophy. The deadline for applying is November the 1st and the position starts in the academic year 2020–2021. You can read all the details on Philjobs, here.

I am sorry for the short notice, but I just found out that there is an opening in Italy, Milan, for a “Researcher of the type B”. This resembles a tenure track position, insofar as after 6 years one becomes Associate professor. The deadline is Monday the 5th of August and the application is relatively easy to prepare (cv, publications, signed declaration of authenticity of what you state in the cv). Here is the link for the text in Italian. I also uploaded here the English summary (scroll down until you find “Indology”). You can apply online, here.
Best of luck!
All details can be read here. The application looks easy, but the deadline is very close, February the 22nd.
In case you missed it, I would like to recommend a website on philosophy of action which is a great single go-to page for almost anything related to the topic. It offers links, biographies, encyclopedic entries, essays, videos and learning materials on various facets of philosophy of action. It has also a section on job vacancies and one with short interviews with scholars working on philosophy of action. It is learned and enjoyable and the same time, a great achievement.
I received from the organiser of the first South Asian studies day in Bonn the attached call for papers. Please note that you need to send your abstract by the end of December 2018. The conference itself will take place on the 28.6.2019 in Bonn.
Please notice also that the call for papers is in German, but that papers in both English and German are welcome.
I received the following announcement from Brian Black:
We invite proposals for papers for the 43rd Spalding Symposium on Indian Religions, which will be hosted by Lancaster University, 12-14 April 2019.
The theme this year is ‘gender’. Our purview includes both religions of South Asian origin wherever in the world they are being practised, and those of non South Asian origin present within South Asia. We welcome papers based upon all research methods, including textual, historical, ethnographic, sociological and philosophical.
