Jobs UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER

The Philosophy Department at the University of Colorado Boulder invites applications for a three-year, renewable, non-tenure-track instructor position to begin August 22, 2022. The successful applicant will teach four undergraduate courses per semester, eight courses per school year, with the possibility for teaching one course in the summer (not guaranteed in advance). For purposes of performance evaluation, the workload for this position is 85% teaching / 15% service / 0% research. While this position does not involve research activity, the Department recognizes that one’s research can contribute to one’s teaching excellence. Candidates with a record of conference presentations and/or publications should therefore include relevant information about their research record with their applications. Note: some instructors choose to work on a 75% (3 courses per semester) appointment rather than 100% (4 courses per semester) basis. An agreement on which best serves the successful applicant and the department will be worked out at the time the offer is made. While the Department has a variety of teaching needs, we are especially interested in candidates who can teach some of the following courses, which are currently understaffed: Bioethics; Philosophy and Race; Philosophy and Gender; Global Justice; War and Morality; Environmental Ethics; Ethics and Information Technology; Philosophy and Sports.

We are the Philosophy Department at the University of Colorado Boulder. For background on our department, see our website: https://www.colorado.edu/philosophy/. The Philosophy Department is dedicated to being a department where all people, including those from underrepresented groups, can thrive and flourish. 

• Teaching eight undergraduate Philosophy courses per year (with the possibility of summer teaching, if desired and available).
• Service to the department, college, and/or university. 

The salary range is $52,000 - $59,000.

• PhD in Philosophy (ABD candidates who will have PhD in hand as of August 22, 2022 will be considered), and adequate teaching experience.
• The latter requirement would be met by any candidate who has been the primary instructor for at least six full credit-hour Philosophy courses.
• These courses can have been taught while the candidate was a graduate student. 

• Effectiveness in the classroom, consistent with the goals of undergraduate education in our department, as outlined in various places in this advertisement. 

Experience as primary instructor teaching at least four full credit-hour Philosophy courses in some subset of the courses in which our department has pressing needs (or their equivalance), while also meeting the minimum teaching experience indicated elsewhere in this advertisement (i.e., primary instructor for six Philosophy courses). While this is an open-AOS and open-AOC search and the department has a variety of teaching needs, the ability to teach in our most understaffed areas is a plus. We have especially pressing teaching needs in the following areas:

• Bioethics
• Philosophy & Race
• Philosophy & Gender
• Global Justice
• War & Morality
• Environmental Ethics
• Ethics & Information Technology
• Philosophy & Sports
