Job Summary
The School of History, Philosophy & Religion invites applications for one or more fixed term, non-tenure-track full/part time Instructor positions to teach on a term by term basis for the 2023-2024 academic year. Some of these appointments may be reviewed for renewal or transition to an instructional position on an annual basis at the discretion of the Director.

Instructors may be needed to teach on campus or Ecampus courses in the following areas: Medical Humanities, Bioethics, World Religions, World Views & Environmental Values, Intro to Christianity, Logic, and may include other areas of philosophy and religious studies.

The School of History, Philosophy, and Religion provides students with a richly connected series of lenses though which they can examine the universe and their place in it. Our students learn to research, analyze, and contextualize the changing roles of religion, science, politics, and thought in both ancient and modern cultures. They also develop ethical, moral reasoning, and critical thinking skills in the service of an engaged life. Religious Studies at OSU is an inter-disciplinary field that
combines history, philosophy, anthropology, ethics, textual analysis, art, literature and film to examine the ways that humans have described and acted in response to that which they have called divine, both in civilizations long past and among peoples and nations around the world in the present moment.
