Alverno College, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Alverno College, a Catholic women's college in the Franciscan tradition, offers an internationally acclaimed ability-based program and diverse student body.  Our low instructor-to-student ratio and collaborative faculty contribute to a positive learning environment. Alverno College provides students with real-life, hands-on experiences in the classroom, in study-abroad opportunities and in professional internships related to their major. These experiences, among others, have resulted in Alverno College being recognized for the ninth consecutive year by U.S.News & World Report in its annual “America's Best Colleges” guide.  Alverno was cited in several categories and was Wisconsin's only educational institution listed in the "A Strong Commitment to Teaching" and "Top Up-and-Coming Schools" categories.

Our Department of Religious Studies has an opportunity available for a full-time Assistant Professor in Biblical Studies beginning August 2010.  The position is on track for continuous appointment and opportunity for promotion in rank.

Responsibilities:  Teach undergraduate courses on The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John; The Biblical Worldview; Christology-Images of Jesus; and The Experience of God. Candidates with a secondary competence and willingness to teach courses in Christian ministry, spirituality, and the humanities will be especially considered.  Additional responsibilities include advising undergraduate students and collaborating in on-going development of curriculum. 

Qualifications:  Ph.D. in Biblical Studies with an emphasis in the New Testament is required. Candidates close to completion will be considered.  College-level teaching experience is preferred. The successful candidate will also have a willingness to work in a highly collaborative environment with a commitment to teaching in an innovative, outcome-based curriculum.
