The Department of Religion at the School of Arts and Humanities of Claremont Graduate University invites applications for a full-time position in Philosophy of Religion, Theology, and Ethics . CGU, a graduate-only institution, is a global leader in transformative graduate education; we espouse a strong set of commitments to diversity and inclusion in our student body, as well as to applied and transdisciplinary approaches to education. While the position is open rank, we seek to hire a candidate with an extraordinary record of achievement. The successful candidate will provide leadership in our Philosophy of Religion and Theology (PRT) doctoral track, continue its unique combination of philosophy, theology, and ethics in teaching and research, and help to map out new directions in the MA and PhD programs of PRT in response to the current challenges facing contemporary philosophy of religion and theology. This person, like all faculty in the Department of Religion, is expected to contribute to the regular teaching of our two required Method and Theory courses. Additional responsibilities include participation in the university governance at different levels and collegial collaboration within the department and the university, contributions to scholarly and other communities, and collaboration with colleagues at the Claremont Colleges.  Preference will be given to a candidate highly conversant in Critical Theory. Although her/his precise area of expertise is open, given the School of Arts and Humanities’ strength in Hemispheric and Cultural Studies and our geographic location in Southern California with a proximity to the Pacific Rim, we ideally seek candidates with a commitment to enhancing our curriculum in these areas. We have a particular interest in those working in Latin American, African/American, and/or Asian/American philosophies and religious thought.

Candidates who can contribute to that goal are encouraged to identify their strengths and experiences in this area.
