The Judy Genshaft Honors College at the University of South Florida seeks a full‑time Assistant Professor of Instruction that falls under the umbrellas of Philosophy, Politics, Economics, and Law (PPEL) or Sustainability Studies.
Applicants should be grounded in practice, invested in inventive pedagogy and curriculum development, and have experience teaching high‑ability students. Learning in the Judy Genshaft Honors College takes place in seminar‑style and/or experiential learning‑informed environments. The ability to engage with students from a range of majors and in multiple areas of our curriculum is necessary. A commitment to community engagement, experiential learning, and/or other high‑impact teaching practices is highly desired, as is a willingness to participate in college programming/student engagement initiatives beyond the classroom. Interests and skills should contribute to the Judy Genshaft Honors Commitments of Engaged Citizenship, Healthy Humanities, and/or Sustainable Futures.
We are interested in individuals whose academic training has equipped them to creatively practice and teach through an interdisciplinary lens. The area of specialization is open, but special consideration may be paid to individuals focusing on technology and society, ethics in AI/LLMs, civic engagement, and/or sustainable futures. We are particularly interested in scholars who adopt a “T‑shaped” approach to teaching and learning—a demonstration of breadth of knowledge, skills, and interests, while applying those diverse approaches to deep engagement in a specific area of specialization.
Salary is highly competitive, depending on qualifications. Start date is August 2026.
