The College seeks to continue its tradition of excellence in teaching and scholarship by attracting faculty who combine disciplinary breadth with intellectual curiosity and a strong commitment to undergraduate education in a liberal arts environment. The Program in Religious Studies seeks to complement existing strengths in Biblical Studies/ Hebrew Bible and Asian Religions/ Buddhist Studies by hiring a scholar-teacher whose work addresses ethical, cultural, and interdisciplinary dimensions of religion. Candidates should demonstrate broad training in their field of expertise, a commitment to interdisciplinary approaches, and competency in working in community-engaged settings. Ideal applicants will be enthusiastic, collaborative, adaptable, and prepared to work closely with colleagues, students, and community partners from diverse academic and faith backgrounds. Doctorate is preferred; ABD will be considered. The standard teaching load for this position is three courses each semester. A spring course release may be available if the successful candidate assumes programmatic responsibilities connected to an ongoing grant-funded initiative focused on religion and health. In addition to courses situated at the intersection of religion and health, the Program seeks a faculty member who can teach courses in religion and culture, religious ethics, and other introductory, interdisciplinary, or topical offerings aligned with areas of teaching competence and appropriate for a broad liberal arts student population.
