About The Position

The Department of Philosophy at Indiana University South Bend invites applications for a one-year Visiting Lecturer Professor position for the 2026-27 academic year with an opportunity of renewal for the 2027-28 academic year. We are seeking an engaging instructor to join our collegial department and contribute to our undergraduate curriculum. The AOS is open and the AOC is Ethics and Critical Thinking.

The position will require teaching 12 credit hours (4-courses) during each of the Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 semesters. Faculty will teach mostly in person at the main IUSB campus, but may be required to teach evening, off-site, or online course as well. The candidate will develop and deliver course content for assigned undergraduate courses, which include introductory-level courses such as Critical Thinking & Applied Ethics, Critical Thinking, and Introduction to Philosophy. An ability to teach a course in feminist philosophy and/or scientific reasoning and/or cognitive science is a plus but not required.
