| Guadalajara Campus |
A corporate work of the Opus Dei, Universidad Panamericana is one of the most prestigious universities in Mexico, with scholars of international reputation in each of its colleges and schools. Our main campus, in Mexico City, has a student population of over 8,000, whereas our smaller campuses in Guadalajara and Aguascalientes offer their own charms to 2,000 students each.
The humanities department of the Guadalajara campus is looking to hire Thomistic philosophers with a solid Catholic formation and a promising future as research scholars. Candidates must either be ABD or have a PhD in hand. Research areas (AOS) are open, although a Thomistic worldview is greatly desired; teaching areas (AOC) must include at least one of the following: history of philosophy, philosophy of man, ethics, marriage and the family, social/political philosophy, or professional ethics. Salary will be commensurate with degrees, teaching experience, and the candidate's publication record. Significant research travel funds are available for international scholarly conferences.

Familiarity with the Opus Dei is not required, but cooperation with the university's Catholic mission and its particular charism as a corporate work of the Opus Dei is expected of employees.
Candidates are not required to be fluent in Spanish at the time of application, although they should be willing to learn Spanish once hired. There are also opportunities for professors to teach in English, including the opportunity to make short trips to the Mexico City campus to teach advanced graduate and undergraduate philosophy courses in English.
The university also has connections with the Mexican government and provides an easy process for obtaining work visas for its foreign employees.

Founded by the Spanish in 1542, the city of Guadalajara is nested in a high plateau (about a mile above sea level) near Mexico's southwest coast (about a hundred miles away from the Pacific Ocean), and is currently the second largest city in the country with about 5 million inhabitants. Guadalajara is known for its relatively low crime rate, for its national and international commerce, and its Catholic identity and heritage (the Guadalajara diocese is the most populated in the world, and its major seminary is the largest in the world, with over 1,000 seminarians).
The Fraternity of Saint Peter has a personal parish in Downtown Guadalajara, about a 20 minute drive from the University, where two traditional Masses are offered daily. An additional Low Mass is said on Sundays at 10am in Zapopan (closer to campus).
The state of Jalisco, of which Guadalajara is the capital, is famous for being the home of Tequila, of Mariachi, of Charrería (Mexican cowboy culture), and of dozens of canonized martyrs, given that the state was the central site of the Cristero war in the 1920-30s. The University campus is located in Zapopan, near Puerta de Hierro, Guadalajara's newest and
