About The Position
Santa Clara University's Department of Religious Studies invites applications for a full-time, renewable, non-tenure track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Teaching Professor in the field of Christian Spirituality and Mysticism. The position begins Fall 2027 and requires expertise in the history and practice of Christian spirituality and/or mysticism, with a preference for Ignatian Spirituality. The methodological approach and time period are open, with potential emphases on Jesuit tradition, comparative studies, women mystics, and contemporary theology. Candidates should be familiar with the University’s Jesuit, Catholic mission and its values of academic excellence, social justice, and community engagement. This is primarily a teaching position, with expected engagement in professional activity (15%) and service (15%). The university operates on the quarter system, with an expected teaching load of seven undergraduate courses over three academic quarters. Initial appointments are for three years, with potential for reappointment and promotion. While the department is undergraduate-focused, there may be opportunities to teach in the Graduate Program in Pastoral Ministries. Experience with diverse student groups is valued.
Requirements
- Terminal degree (PhD or MFA) in an appropriate theological or historical field (e.g., Systematic Theology, Historical Theology), or a related field by appointment start date.
- Demonstrated excellence in teaching university-level courses in Christian Spirituality and Mysticism.
- Demonstrated potential for effective and inclusive teaching and mentoring of a diverse undergraduate student population.
- Experience with inclusive pedagogical practices that promote access and academic success for all students.
Nice To Haves

- Experience working with diverse groups of students is valued.
Responsibilities
- Teach lower- and upper-division courses in the major and university core curriculum, including courses such as The Christian Tradition, Mysticism in Catholicism, and Ignatian Spirituality.
- Engage in professional activity, which for non-tenure track faculty on the Teaching Professor track refers to scholarly or creative work, professional practice, or other active engagement in a discipline or field that enables a faculty member to remain current in that area and vital as a teacher.
- Provide effective service to the Department of Religious Studies, the College of Arts and Sciences, the University, and the profession through contributions other than teaching and scholarship, such as service on committees, participation in professional organizations and activities, leadership, and community service performed by virtue of professional expertise or association with the university, as appropriate to rank and experience.
