Theology Professor

Job Opportunity

The Church Divinity School of the Pacific (CDSP) invites applications for a tenure-track or tenured faculty position in Systematic and Moral Theology for its hybrid MDiv program. The appointment will be an open rank role (Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor) and will begin on a specified date. Successful candidates must hold a PhD (ABD will be considered). CDSP is particularly interested in appointing faculty who can teach across a variety of subject areas; who teach their discipline in the light of the needs of church leaders in the twenty-first century; and who are committed to forming pastoral leaders.

Successful candidates will also contribute to some of the following areas: antiracism and diversity, equity, and inclusion; community organizing; interreligious fluency; ministerial leadership; mission & evangelism; and women's studies. In addition, all faculty are expected to contribute to the teaching of other theological disciplines according to their skills and experience.

CDSP intentionally accepts annually a small student body to provide concentrated attention to individuals, cohorts, and the collective student community. CDSP's hybrid MDiv program requires faculty to teach classes in both asynchronous online and short-term in-person modalities. Faculty are required to be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship and are free to live anywhere they wish as long as they can meet the demands of the job. Faculty will also be expected to advise students, engage in service, and pursue a scholarly agenda. A deep commitment to working in an engaged and collegial manner with other faculty and staff colleagues is of foremost importance. Occasional travel will be required for this role.

Successful candidates will also demonstrate a commitment to the holistic formation of students. As the mission of the seminary is to prepare priests for the Episcopal Church, candidates will demonstrate a commitment to the church and the health of its leaders, to community, to theological reflection, and to the formation of the whole student. Preference will be given to candidates who are ordained in a church in the Anglican Communion or a full communion partner. Prospective faculty who consider seminary preparation as part of their ordained or lay vocation outside of the Episcopal Church, and/or who come from minoritized populations and communities, are encouraged to apply.
