The Assistant Professor will be dedicated to the scholarship and teaching of the first millennium of Christianity, from its post-apostolic period (ca. 100 CE) down to the later Byzantine or early Medieval period (ca. 1000 CE). The ideal candidate’s training and research agenda should reflect the regional and linguistic diversity of the “Christianities” which existed in Late Antiquity: from Egypt, Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon in the East to Africa, Gaul, Italy, and Spain in the West, and beyond. In addition to church fathers, the ideal candidate’s teaching will also bring attention to neglected church mothers.

Furthermore, the ideal candidate will be prepared to teach not only the major figures within Christian orthodoxy but also more marginalized figures and movements who were deemed heterodox and suppressed. Alongside this focus on the diversity within Christianity itself, the ideal candidate should be prepared to engage the broader religious and social world of Late Antiquity addressing how Christian beliefs, practices, debates, and moral imaginaries took root in a culturally and ethnically heterogenous world. This might include, for example, addressing Jewish traditions, ancient Mediterranean traditions, classical Greco-Roman philosophies, and eventually the emergence of Islam.

The position involves undergraduate teaching in the University Core, the Theological Studies Major and Minor programs, as well as in the MA in Theology and MA in Pastoral Theology programs. The teaching load is defined as 2-2-2-3 over two years (i.e. two classes per regular semester and three classes every fourth semester). Desirable areas of scholarship and/or teaching may include: development and controversy within Christian doctrine (Christology, Trinity, Pneumatology, Anthropology, Eschatology); Patristics; the emergence of diverse Christian cultures in the form of institutions, literary and textual production (hagiography, monastic rules), or moral program; the history of Christian Asceticism, especially its diverse attitudes toward the body (i.e. food, sex, death, decay, and resurrection); the development of Christian ethics or political thought; the history of biblical interpretation (biblical scholarship, competing exegetical practices, ideal interpreters).

This is a tenure-track faculty appointment. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. or other relevant doctoral degree (e.g., Th.D) from an accredited institution. ABD candidates will be considered but must fulfill all degree requirements by August 15, 2027. This full-time, 9-month academic appointment (August – May) has an annual salary paid over 12 consecutive months, allowing for continuous benefits coverage. Visa sponsorship may be available for qualified candidates.

Further Information:

The Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate have been engaged in serving the Hispanic/Latine community in the United States since 1849. This follows the Oblate charism and the mission of its school since its founding in 1903: to prepare students for ministry in the Southwest and Mexico. As is clear in the OST Statement of Purpose, this mission has expanded over the decades to “the multicultural, global reality of church and society, with particular attention to the diverse and rich Hispanic reality of the Americas.” The purpose of the Chair of Hispanic Engagement is to enhance this commitment by establishing a full-time position, with faculty status, to increase research and instruction in “cultural responsiveness, access to theological education, affordability, and student success.”[1]

Inspired by the charism of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, Oblate School of Theology educates, forms, and renews men and women to “preach the Gospel to the most abandoned.” OST is a vibrant and complex educational institution that provides theological and ministerial leadership in both academic and professional degrees. The graduate programs in Spirituality have grown exponentially in recent years. The school is equally committed to the pastoral and theological education and formation of students from nine dioceses and six different religious orders who are studying for priesthood and religious life. Other established programs include academic degrees such as the MA in Theology, the MA in Spirituality, and the MA in Sacred Scripture. Professional programs include the DMin, the MDiv, the MA in Pastoral Ministry, and the Maestría de Artes en Ministerio Pastoral which is offered bilingually in Spanish and English. OST likewise resources the local church with several vibrant lay certificate programs such as the Programa de espiritualidad y direccion espiritual. Institutes such as the Instituto de Formación Pastoral, Sankofa Institute for African American Pastoral Leadership, and the Institute for the Study of Contemporary Spirituality provide academic homes for students studying across the different degree programs.
