Applications are invited for the post of Lecturer in Systematic and Historical Theology in the School of Divinity, an internationally renowned centre of excellence. Applicants are welcome from both established scholars and practitioners of outstanding promise, but you must have appropriate academic qualifications in Christian theology, including a completed PhD, and primary expertise in the field of Systematic Theology. You must demonstrate some appropriate experience of teaching and/or show exceptional potential to develop as a successful teacher of your discipline in a University setting. You must have a very strong commitment to research, with the capacity to make an immediate contribution to the established research excellence of the School and a clear programme of anticipated research activity over the coming years.
The School is committed to the integration of the biblical and theological disciplines, and you will be enthusiastic about working closely with colleagues across the range of Divinity’s activities. You will be interested in the history of theology, and may have a research background in any major area of classical or modern theology. However, you must also have demonstrable expertise in dogmatics and be interested in the exploration of constructive theology in a contemporary context. You will contribute to the School's programmes in these areas at both undergraduate and taught postgraduate levels, and supervise research students. You will also undertake administrative duties as directed by the Head of School.
