Hampshire College, an independent, innovative liberal arts institution and member of the Five College consortium, is accepting applications for a three-year visiting assistant professor of applied ethics, appointment beginning July 1, 2015. This position has the possibility of continuation to a ten-year contract track pending future funding.

Candidates must have earned a Ph.D. in Philosophy by the time of appointment. We are particularly interested in candidates who are able to contribute to interdisciplinary undergraduate teaching, advising, and program-building with our Ethics and the Common Good initiative, and serve on the advisory committee for the initiative.
