A strong engagement with theological education, and interdisciplinary activity, particularly with music and the arts are also expected.
The successful candidate will teach two courses per term, participate in graduate student advising including thesis supervision, and will provide service in ISM, YDS, and the university. Some team-teaching with other areas in the ISM is expected, and teaching courses to undergraduates and graduate students in units beyond ISM and YDS is also possible. A letter of application with curriculum vitae and a list of three references can be submitted here. Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2023. The position will remain open until filled.
