"Assistant Professor of Hebrew Bible"

Phillips Theological Seminary seeks a scholar of the Hebrew Bible for a tenure-track position at the level of Assistant Professor. Applicants are expected to have a PhD or equivalent in Hebrew Bible. ABD will be considered. Ability in and/or experience for teaching courses in Introduction to the Hebrew Bible, Exegesis of the Hebrew Bible, and Biblical Hebrew are requisite. An ability to contribute a strong secondary area of expertise is desired.

The successful candidate will teach four courses a year. Salary is based on experience and rank. The salary range for Assistant Professor is from $65,400 to $78,000, which is competitive for faculty among our peer institutions (i.e. free standing ATS member schools that grant Master’s and DMin professional degrees in the US). We offer a full range of benefits, including health insurance for faculty members, a 14% contribution to a retirement fund, generous funding to support research, travel, online teaching, and research sabbaticals.

The appointee will teach in the Seminary’s degree programs (MDiv, MTS, MAMC, MASJ, DMin). In addition to supplying required courses, the appointee will teach electives consistent with the Seminary’s mission, the biblical area’s needs, and the appointee’s research interests. The four courses will be taught in a variety of schedules and modalities (in person; thirteen weeks; synchronous; asynchronous; short-format intensives; hybrid).

Phillips is a seminary of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Faculty members are expected to work constructively within an ecumenical and progressive ethos informed by the Disciples’ practice of inclusive theological hospitality. Faculty responsibilities include maintaining an active and excellent research and publication agenda; competent and effective teaching; supervising DMin students; mentoring students in Masters’ degree programs; service on faculty committees; and active participation in the Seminary’s community life and in the broader local community (including living in Tulsa, Oklahoma).
