Assistant Professor of Hebrew Bible

Phillips Theological Seminary seeks a scholar of the Hebrew Bible for a tenure-track
position at the level of Assistant Professor. Applicants are expected to have a PhD
or equivalent in Hebrew Bible. ABD will be considered. Ability in and/or experience
for teaching courses in Introduction to the Hebrew Bible, Exegesis of the Hebrew
Bible, and Biblical Hebrew are requisite. An ability to contribute a strong secondary
area of expertise is desired.
The successful candidate will teach four courses a year. Salary is based on
experience and rank. The salary range for Assistant Professor is from $65,400 to
$78,000, which is competitive for faculty among our peer institutions (i.e. free

the US). We offer a full range of benefits, including health insurance for faculty
members, a 14% contribution to a retirement fund, generous funding to support
research, travel, online teaching, and research sabbaticals.
The appointee will teach in the Seminary’s degree programs (MDiv, MTS, MAMC,
MASJ, DMin). In addition to supplying required courses, the appointee will teach
electives consistent with the Seminary’s mission, the biblical area’s needs, and the
appointee’s research interests. The four courses will be taught in a variety of
schedules and modalities (in person; thirteen weeks; synchronous; asynchronous;
short-format intensives; hybrid).
Phillips is a seminary of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Faculty members
are expected to work constructively within an ecumenical and progressive ethos
informed by the Disciples’ practice of inclusive theological hospitality. Faculty
responsibilities include maintaining an active and excellent research and publication
agenda; competent and effective teaching; supervising DMin students; mentoring
students in Masters’ degree programs; service on faculty committees; and active
participation in the Seminary’s community life and in the broader local community
(including living in Tulsa, Oklahoma).
