Job Summary:
The School of the Humanities (part of the Maxwell Becton College of
Liberal Arts and Education) at Fairleigh Dickinson University (
https://www.fdu.edu/ ) is
looking for part-time (adjunct) faculty to teach in-person sections
of Ethics and other Philosophy courses starting in Fall 2025.
Sections are all 3 credit hours (150 minutes of class per week) and
meet Monday-Thursday, Tuesday-Friday, or as a double block on
different days including Wednesday. You can teach one course or
several. If you are successful in the position, teaching should be
available every semester going forward.
Our immediate need for Fall 2025 (semester starting August 25, see
https://www.fdu.edu/academics/academic-calendar/2025-2026/
) is for sections of Ethics, Intro to Philosophy, and Ethical
Issues in the Movies. Most of these are scheduled to meet in person
on our Florham Campus at 285 Madison Avenue, Madison NJ, and on our
Metro Campus at 1000 River Road, Teaneck NJ, but for an exceptional
candidate we could explore moving them online (we already have
offers to teach online and would much prefer in person). There may
be a few opportunities to teach sections that are already
designated synchronous online.
Ethics is a Gen Ed requirement at FDU : all our students have to
take it. We are looking for someone who can teach the subject
responsibly, from a philosophical standpoint, but in a way that is
interactive, engaging, relevant to students’ lives, and maybe even
fun. Intro to Philosophy is for our Humanities majors as well as
the Gen Ed requirement in Humanities. All sections are expected to
have 10–30 students and to involve significant discussion, not just
lecture.
The ideal candidate would have a PhD in Philosophy with
specialization in ethics. We will be happy to consider you if you
have any advanced degree in Philosophy or a related field, even if
you are currently in graduate school, as long as you have
experience with ethics or moral philosophy and can show some
evidence of excellence in teaching. If you have a background in
Theology or religious instruction, you are welcome to apply as long
as you appreciate that FDU is not religiously affiliated and any
teaching you do for us should not advance any particular religious
viewpoint.
Questions? Email Matthieu Boyd ( [email protected] ), chair of
Humanities.
Required Qualifications:
Advanced degree (PhD preferred, Master’s acceptable) in Philosophy
or a related field.
Coursework, teaching, or professional experience involving ethics
or moral philosophy.
Evidence of teaching effectiveness.
Employment is contingent upon a satisfactory background check.
Candidates for hire will be required to sign a waiver authorizing
the background check and produce a Social Security Card.
