Assistant Professor of Theology, Sexuality, and Gender

Princeton Theological Seminary seeks a scholar of Christian theology whose research and teaching give critical attention to the intersection of theology, sexuality, and gender to serve as Assistant Professor (tenure-track) in the Theology Department.  The successful candidate will actively contribute to rethinking, developing, and supporting the Seminary’s Center for Theology, Women, and Gender. Other areas of specialization are open to negotiation.

Applicants are expected to have a portfolio of published research and teaching experience in the field and to hold a Ph.D. or its equivalent (or evidence that the degree will be in hand by the time of appointment). The successful candidate will share responsibility for all of the Seminary’s degree programs (MDiv, MTS, MACEF, MA (hybrid), MTE, ThM, and PhD), offering required courses and a broad range of electives that conform to the Seminary's mission, the Theology Department's needs, and the appointee's research interests.  As Princeton Theological Seminary is related to the Presbyterian Church (USA), faculty members are expected to work constructively within an ecumenical ethos informed by the Reformed Tradition.  The responsibilities of faculty members include: pursuing an active scholarly research agenda; supervising PhD students; mentoring students in all degree programs; service on faculty committees; and regular participation in the Seminary community’s life.  The appointment is expected to commence July 1, 2026.
