Lecturer of Social, Political, and/or Legal Philosophy

The Department of Philosophy & Religious Studies at Old Dominion University invites applicants for a Lecturer of Social, Political, and/or Legal Philosophy to begin in Fall 2025. This is a 10 month annual, non-tenure track appointment with a preferred AOC in Applied Ethics.

We seek candidates who can inspire our diverse student body to minor, major, or double major in Philosophy. The Lecturer will teach primarily general education Philosophy courses, like Introduction to Philosophy, and will also have opportunities to teach courses in their areas of specialization as needed to complement the department’s existing areas of curricular strength. Some example specialized courses would be Social & Political Philosophy and Philosophy of Law. The teaching course load will be 4/4.

ODU has a strong and active commitment to diversity. The Department of Philosophy & Religious Studies especially encourages applications from members of underrepresented groups and those with a demonstrated track record of promoting and enhancing a diverse and inclusive environment.  

The position has a soft deadline of December 2, but applications received by December 20 will receive full consideration.
