Hey, FEAST folks.

Please spread far and wide that we are looking for a new full-time Instructor in Philosophy (emphasis on teaching) at SIUE.

SIUE is about 25 minutes from the vibrant city of St. Louis. The area has wonderful free museums and parks and zoo (not as magnificent as the Smithsonian, but with the same notion of the public good in mind). The cost of living is pretty low in both Edwardsville, the "Metro East" (the part of IL right across the river from STL), and STL and environs. There are multiple active philosophy departments in the STL Metro area and there are lots of ways to get involved. SIUE itself as a university follows the teacher-scholar model, and offers one of the most affordable 4-year degree programs in Illinois. No place is perfect. But this work environment is better than many and willing to work on itself, and that's not nothing.

Please consider applying to be our colleague (Saba Fatima, Sue Dieleman, and I are all tenured or TT faculty here, and the excellent Michelle Catalano and Meredith Verrochi are part of our full-time Instructor cohort).
