Assistant Teaching Professor (EXPIRED)

The Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Iowa State University (https://www.philrs.iastate.edu/) invites candidates to apply for a three-year assistant teaching professorship. AOS/AOC: Open. The successful candidate will teach a 3/3 load. Initially, all six courses will be sections of Moral Theory and Practice, an introductory-level course in moral philosophy that integrates issues related to business. The successful candidate will have latitude in developing the course, including deciding how to engage business students. (The department is committed to in-person teaching.) The successful candidate will also perform modest service. Preference will be given to candidates who can teach an additional (online) section of Moral Theory and Practice in the summers. Given projected needs, preference will be given to candidates who can teach additional applied ethics courses (e.g., medical ethics). Opportunities for additional (online) Winter teaching might be available. The three-year contract may be renewed following a successful review and continuing need of the program. ISU provides opportunities for advancement to the rank of Associate Teaching Professor and Full Teaching Professor (the last of which includes five-year contracts). The successful candidate will join a supportive and diverse department with a small and engaged major and a broad impact through its popular course offerings. As a member of a very strong teaching department, the successful candidate should provide an effective learning experience for undergraduate students with diverse backgrounds. The successful candidate will have full rights within the department. The department, college, and university all support professional development and engagement with the discipline. Philosophy and Religious Studies are independent units.
