The successful candidate will teach 15 credits annually, comprised of a range of courses for Master's- and Doctoral-level students at introductory and advanced levels.  These include Historical Witness of the Church, a required course in the MDiv degree program that is jointly taught with colleagues in history every year, as well as upper-level courses in theology. There are likely to be opportunities to teach residential intensives and online courses at our affiliated partner institution, The General Theological Seminary.

In addition to teaching, all faculty at VTS are expected to engage in a robust publishing program, contribute to the seminary's lifelong learning offerings, participate in daily worship and shared lunch, advise students, and share in the broader intellectual ad formational life of the seminary community. 

Qualifications include:

  • Commitment to Christ and God’s mission in the world, and to theological education and formation;
  • A Doctoral degree (PhD or ThD) in Theology, conferred before June 30, 2027, with expertise in a focused field within the discipline;
  • Competence in teaching Theology at the Master's level;
  • Evidence of or capacity for scholarly publication and research;
  • In line with the seminary's Covenant, demonstrate a special strength or capacity for teaching and mentoring underrepresented students;
  • Knowledge of Anglican/Episcopal thinkers and sources, and ability to set their contributions within the broad sweep of ecumenical endeavor; working out of a methodology that may include but is not limited to constructive, contextual, doctrinal, historical, and systematic approaches; and 
  • Openness to teaching in online and face-to-face contexts.

The Seminary's primary mission is to form Christians for lay or ordained leadership and service in the ministry of the Church. Out of its evangelical, Catholic, and missionary tradition we seek to prepare our students as servants of Jesus Christ to equip the people of God for their vocation and ministry in the world.

Couples and persons from historically underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. All full-time faculty members live in faculty housing on campus.
