Hiring Unit Job Description/Responsibilities The Department of Philosophy at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) seeks to hire a full-time Instructor beginning August 2027. Full-time Instructors teach 4 courses per semester and are expected to participate in Student Engagement, Professional Development, and/or Faculty Development activities. Teaching responsibilities will be primarily 100-level Reasoning and Argumentation. We also have teaching needs for 200- and 300-level applied ethics courses, primarily but not restricted to medical ethics and engineering ethics. The SIUE Department of Philosophy values diversity among its faculty and is committed to building a culturally diverse intellectual community. SIUE Philosophy welcomes candidates who can contribute to the department's cultural and intellectual diversity beyond fulfilling the core teaching responsibilities and encourages candidates to articulate in their application materials the ways in which they can do so. Successful candidates will be expected to support the SIUE College of Arts and Sciences' commitment to anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion. SIUE nurtures an open, respectful, and welcoming climate that facilitates learning and work. Integral to this commitment, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville strives for a student body and a workforce that is both diverse and inclusive. We strongly encourage candidates from historically underrepresented groups, including women, members of racially minoritized groups, and individuals with disabilities, to apply.
