Harvard University’s Faculty of Divinity seeks to appoint a full-time tenured or
tenure-track faculty member to fill the Charles Chauncey Stillman Professorship of Roman Catholic Theological Studies. We welcome applications from candidates with expertise in Catholic theology, as well as those who study Catholicism from the perspective of other disciplines—including Biblical studies, comparative studies, cultural studies, ethics, gender and sexuality, history, literature, philosophy, politics, and ethnography—and are open to the theological dimensions of their scholarship. Successful candidates should be prepared to teach classes that reflect the cultural diversity of Roman Catholicism in the United States and around the world. Excellence in teaching and research is expected. The doctoral degree must be held by June 30, 2024.
The successful candidate will work closely with students in the Divinity School’s
Master of Divinity, Master of Theological Studies, and Master of Religion in
Public Life programs, as well as PhD candidates in the Study of Religion in the
Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. They will also have an opportunity to teach
undergraduates in Harvard College and to collaborate with colleagues and students
in other departments and schools in the University.
Applications should be made online at: academicpositions.harvard.edu.
Applications must include a CV, a cover letter, a writing sample, and the names
and email addresses of three professional references who are prepared to submit
letters of recommendations. The School may contact those persons directly at a
later stage in the search. Review of applications will begin on September 30, 2023,
and continue until the position is filled.
Letters of nomination are welcome. Applicants should address any questions
regarding the position itself or the online application system to the search office.
