Department of Philosophy Part-time Lecturer Pool

The Department of Philosophy at California State University, San Bernardino invites applications for its Part-Time Lecturer Pool. We are seeking experienced, well-organized, and student-centered individuals to teach in the following subject areas:

• Critical Thinking
• Metaphysics
• Philosophy of Law and Jurisprudence
• Latin American Philosophy
• Philosophy of Race

This is a pool of part-time lecturers for the department to draw on as necessary. Qualified applicants will be contacted when positions are available.

Part-time faculty lecturers are hired with conditional appointments based on enrollment and budget. Hires from the pool of applicants are made when there are instructional needs to fill coursework offered by an academic department based on changing enrollment patterns, changes to tenure-track faculty assignments, and other factors that cannot be addressed with existing faculty. Initial appointments are typically for one semester, but occasionally academic year initial appointments are made. Appointments may be renewed based on department needs, funding, and performance. Often appointments are made just prior to the start of the semester so some faculty lecturers may need to be available on very short notice. 

Candidates must be willing to teach a mix of in-person and online courses. Qualified candidates must also demonstrate a commitment to excellence in teaching and mentoring a diverse student population and to working effectively with faculty, staff, and students across a wide range of disciplines.

• Candidates must hold at least a master’s degree in philosophy or a related field
• Candidates must demonstrate their ability to interact and work effectively with a wide and culturally diverse range of students, including first-generation college students

• Experience in working with diverse populations and fostering a collaborative, supportive, and inclusive environment
• Experience teaching undergraduate courses in philosophy
