OVERVIEW
The Department of Catholic Studies of the University of St. Thomas invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of assistant professor to begin September 1, 2025. The Department offers an undergraduate major and minor as well as a graduate certificate and degree (MA) in Catholic Studies. Guided by the principles of Ex corde ecclesiae and Fides et ratio, we are committed to sustaining and developing the Catholic intellectual tradition. We seek candidates who share these commitments. As an interdisciplinary department, we seek candidates whose disciplinary expertise is coupled with an interdisciplinary habit of mind and an ability to teach in an interdisciplinary way. To this end, we seek candidates with expertise in one of the multiple elements of the Catholic intellectual tradition (including but not limited to history, literature, art, theology or philosophy) and expect that candidates will demonstrate how their teaching engages the tradition as a coherent whole. (Candidates from disciplines other than theology are encouraged to apply.) Candidates should have formal preparation in their discipline, a clear scholarly agenda, and evidence of ability to teach across disciplinary boundaries. The successful candidate must have a PhD (U.S. or foreign equivalent degree) in history, literature, art, theology, or philosophy or a closely related field. Alternatively, ABD candidates nearing completion of their PhD will be considered. The person hired for this position will be expected to teach the department’s core courses, as well as other undergraduate and graduate courses. (For information on our core courses, click https://www.stthomas.edu/catalog/current/cath/ and then scroll down to the list of course offerings, and click on course descriptions for Cath 101, Cath 205, and Cath 301.) The person hired will also be expected to develop hybrid in-person/online courses for the Catholic Studies MA program https://cas.stthomas.edu/degrees-programs/graduate/catholic-studies/. The standard teaching load is six courses (24 credits) per year. There are also the customary expectations for scholarship and service.
