FACULTY POSITIONS
Interreligious Education (open rank)
Claremont School of Theology wishes to welcome to our faculty a creative and productive scholar and teacher in Interreligious Education, preferably a person who has experiential grounding in a tradition other than Christianity. The position is full-time and tenured/tenure-track (rank open). Responsibilities include teaching and advising in M.Div., M.A., D.Min., and Ph.D. programs; research and scholarship; service to the School; and service to the profession, religious communities, and other contexts.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. or Th.D. (doctoral candidates will be considered), teaching experience, a record of scholarship, and practical experience in interreligious education and dialogue.
The successful candidate will be able to teach interreligious education and religious formation at the master’s level, prepare students for ministerial vocations, and provide academic guidance for doctoral students in religious education. Further, the successful candidate will enjoy engaging religious and cultural diversity, and will strive with us to explore, for example, issues related to colonialism, race/racism, gender/sexism, globalization, sexual identity, and interreligious dialogue.
Claremont School of Theology is an ecumenical and interreligious institution that seeks to instill students with the ethical integrity, religious intelligence, and intercultural understanding necessary to become effective in thought and action as spiritual leaders in the increasingly diverse, multi-religious world of the twenty-first century. Faculty, staff, and students represent several religious traditions, more than thirty Christian denominations, and a rich ethnic and international diversity. We seek a scholar-practitioner who will work collegially with us as we continue to form the School into an interreligious university (see www.cst.edu/UniversityProject for a description of the “university project”). Rank and salary will be determined by qualifications and experience.
Application Process: The position is available July 1, 2010, pending budgetary approval. Evaluation of applications will begin October 1, 2009, and the position will remain open until filled. Applicants are requested to send a letter of application, vita, one article or book (or dissertation) chapter, one course syllabus or course design, and the names, telephone numbers, and email addresses of 3-5 references to Dean Susan Nelson, Claremont School of Theology, 1325 North College Ave., Claremont, CA 91711. www.cst.edu. AA/EOE.
Ethics of Globalization (open rank)
Claremont School of Theology invites applications for a full-time tenured or tenure-track position, rank open, in the Ethics of Globalization. We seek a scholar who can address issues having to do with globalization from within the context of religious ethics and/or ethics in relation to religion. We are especially interested in applicants with expertise and grounding in religious traditions other than Christianity. Candidates’ research specializations might include, e.g., economic development, global migration, transnational labor movements, post-colonialism, hunger, poverty, debt, or international relations. Without diminishing our commitment to educate and train Christian ministerial candidates, CST is transitioning to a multi-religious university model in which the dialogue between traditions and with contemporary society will be central. Interdisciplinary and inter-religious competence is therefore necessary, as is an ability to mentor future clerics in religious traditions other than Christianity.
Responsibilities include teaching (four courses per year) and advising in M.Div., M.A., D.Min., and Ph.D. programs. We seek excellence in teaching and scholarship, collegiality, and professional/religious/social engagement. Possibilities currently exist to collaborate with Claremont Graduate University masters and doctoral programs. Rank and salary will be determined by qualifications and experience. Completed Ph.D. and teaching experience are preferable.
