The Faculty of Theology, University of Copenhagen, invites applications for two (2) tenure-track Assistant Professor Positions in New Testament Studies to be filled by 1 January, or as soon as possible thereafter.

Job description
A tenure-track assistant professorship is a six-year, fixed-term academic position involving both research and teaching. The successful candidate will be obliged to complete a teacher-training course designed especially for assistant professors, and will be expected to be able to take part in all the activities of the Department, including examinations and administration.

Approximately six months before the end of the six-year period as tenure-track assistant professor, a committee set up by the Dean will assess whether the assistant professor can be considered for promotion to a tenured position as associate professor.

The Section for Biblical Studies seeks to appoint two new faculty members at the rank of assistant professor (tenure-track). For one position, we seek specialization in the field of emotions within early Christian writings; for the second position, the call is open to all aspects of New Testament and early Christian studies.

The ideal candidates will demonstrate:

  • an active research agenda,
  • a high level of the implied language skills,
  • methodological sophistication and commitment to collaboration,
  • a potential for research leadership, including grant application, and
  • a capacity to teach courses related to the curriculum of New Testament Studies.

The positions involve commitment to take an active part in the faculty’s research environment and research-based teaching, including examination and supervision related to the theology programmes at Bachelor, Master and PhD levels, open programmes, and any new areas of study. They also involve taking part in activities related to securing funding for and managing research projects, providing pedagogical supervision, and participating in academic assessments.

The candidates must be able to offer courses on New Testament Studies at all levels.

Department description
The department studies the scriptures of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, which are considered — to varying degrees — foundational, normative, and sacred. Our focus is on:

  • the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible and other formative documents of ancient Judaism (including, for example, Dead Sea Scrolls and Hellenistic Jewish sources),
  • the New Testament and other formative documents of early Christian studies (including, for example, ancient Jewish and non-canonical Christian sources),
  • the Qur'an and its earliest traditions and commentaries.

Our research and teaching encompasses the various exegetical traditions, historical contexts, material cultures, and reception histories that emerge around each of these three collections of sacred writings.

Qualification requirements
The position requires scientific qualifications such as a PhD degree in the field of New Testament Studies, incl. studies in early Christian studies or other immediately adjacent fields.

In connection with the overall assessment of the individual applicant, emphasis is placed on the applicant’s research and teaching potential within the fields described above.
