Steve tells us about some new positions going at St Mary’s College, the University of St Andrews.

Senior Lecturer/Reader in Systematic and Historical Theology

Applications are invited for the post of Senior Lecturer/Reader in Systematic and Historical Theology in the School of Divinity, an internationally renowned centre of excellence. Applicants must have appropriate academic qualifications in Christian theology, including a PhD, and primary expertise in the field of Systematic Theology.

You will have a strong record of research publications, and the capacity to make an immediate contribution to the established research excellence of the School, as well as 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 highly motivated to work 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.
