As Lecturer, you will carry out teaching in Theology and cognate fields, such as Philosophy of Religion and Religious Studies. You will contribute to the supervision of undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations and to the personal tutoring of undergraduate students. You will also be an active researcher, producing high-quality publications and grant applications, and contributing to the overall research environment of the School. The specific focus of this post on Theology, Race and Ethnicity reflects our commitment to diversifying and innovating our curriculum in response to student demand as well as recent societal and intellectual developments.

Based on your specific expertise, you will be asked to lead, contribute to and potentially develop modules across our BA and MA programmes. An indicative but not exhaustive list of existing modules includes: ‘Thinking about Race’, ‘Introduction to Christian Theology’, ‘Introduction to Jewish and Christian Texts’, ‘Philosophy of Religion’, ‘Human Rights and Religion’, ‘Theology and Public Life’. You may also be asked to teach modules for an online MA programme, notably ‘Concepts of God’ or ‘Philosophy and Spiritual Practice’.

At the time of application, applicants must have a PhD in Theology or a related field such as Philosophy of Religion or Religious Studies, plus relevant subject expertise and teaching experience. We are open to different approaches to theology, such as analytical, constructive, contextual, empirical, philosophical, and political theologies, and in what these bring to bear on the study of race and ethnicity as critical categories of socially-marked difference.
