Harvard Divinity School
Junior Positions in New Testament and Early Christianity
HARVARD DIVINITY SCHOOL seeks to make two junior,
tenure-track appointments in New Testament and Early
Christianity, with preference for specialization in
Gospels or early Christian and Jewish apocalyptic
(including the Dead Sea Scrolls). The successful
candidates will complement the current field of New
Testament and Early Christian Studies at HDS which
focuses on the interdisciplinary study of Christian
literature (canonical and extracanonical), history,
exegesis, and theology in the context of the ancient
Mediterranean world, with special emphases in
hermeneutics, feminist interpretation, and material
culture.
Applicants must hold a doctoral degree by the time of
assuming the position in the fall of 2009, be familiar
with forms of analysis that address race, gender, and
social location, and be able to teach and advise at the
doctoral and master s levels, including the M.Div.
program. In addition to students in the Divinity School,
successful candidates will teach undergraduates and
graduate students in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
Harvard University is an equal-opportunity,
affirmative-action employer and encourages applications
from and nominations of women and/or ethnic minority
candidates.
Letters of nomination are welcome. Letters of
application, accompanied by a recent curriculum vitae, a
writing sample and/or select publications, and three
letters of recommendation should be sent to: New
Testament and Early Christianity Search Committee, c/o
Jacob Rhoads, Faculty Search Coordinator, Harvard
Divinity School, 45 Francis Avenue, Cambridge,
Massachusetts 02138, USA. Email: jrhoads@hds.harvard.edu.
Review of applications will begin September 1, 2008.
