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 successful

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

students.
