Recruitment Type:: Internal/External candidates
Work Schedule:: full-time/9-months

Position Summary:: The Villanova Department of Humanities seeks candidates for a Post-doctoral Teaching Fellowship in the Augustinian Intellectual Tradition, starting in the Fall Semester 2022. This is a one-year fellowship renewable for up to two years, for a total of 3 years. As part of an innovative curriculum, seminars in the interdisciplinary Humanities major guide highly motivated undergraduates through significant questions about human life in a dialogue between the contemporary world and the art, thought, and history of the Augustinian Catholic Intellectual Tradition. Our faculty's areas of skills range from architecture to literature to economics, and we welcome applications from scholars whose teaching and research likewise explores pressing philosophical and theological questions about their own disciplinary areas. In addition, we invite applications from those who explore the diversity within the Catholic Intellectual Tradition and highlight opportunities for fruitful dialogue with diverse partners outside that tradition.

Villanova is a Catholic university sponsored by the Augustinian order. Diversity and inclusion have been and will continue to be an integral component of Villanova University's mission. The University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer and seeks candidates who understand, respect and can contribute to the University's mission and values.

tasks and Job responsibilities:: The fellow teaches three courses per semester, including self-designed upper-level, interdisciplinary courses in the Humanities major and courses in the Augustine and Culture Seminar Program (ACS) required of first-year students. ACS is a two-semester writing intensive interdisciplinary seminar that gives attention to the Catholic Intellectual Tradition and its continuing mission to defend the dignity of the human person, recognize the need for human solidarity, and serve the common good. Additional teaching opportunities may be available.

The fellow participates in Humanities department meetings and events, with minimal service expectations. Conference travel and research funding is available to the fellow.

Minimum Appropriate qualifications::
   » Candidates must have a Ph.D., or be near completion, in a significant discipline.
   » prosperous candidates will demonstrate a strong commitment to undergraduate, interdisciplinary teaching in the Humanities, and an interest in teaching the thought and influence of Augustine and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition.
   » In addition, since Humanities and ACS explore a wide and diverse range of significant voices through human history, we seek teacher/scholars who represent that range through their scholarship and teaching interests.
