The Department of Philosophy in the College of Humanities and Sciences at Virginia Commonwealth University is recruiting a pool of applicants on an ongoing basis for adjunct teaching positions. The Department of Philosophy will consult the adjunct applicant pool and contact qualified applicants for interviews on an as needed basis. Applications will remain active until June 30, 2024. After that time, interested candidates must reapply to the pool. A link to philosophy course descriptions from VCU's Undergraduate Bulletin can be found at http://bulletin.vcu.edu/undergraduate/college-humanities-sciences/philosophy/#coursestext.
