The Department of Religious Studies at the University of Virginia seeks to hire a tenure-track Assistant Professor who studies Eastern Christianity, broadly construed.

Method, time-period, and thematic focus are open. Candidates should demonstrate expertise in a particular archive or context of Eastern Christian thought, interest in historical or contemporary interactions between Christian and Islamic thought and practice, competence to teach an undergraduate introduction to Eastern Christian thought, and a capacity to work with graduate students. We will prioritize (but not limit consideration to) applications from scholars whose work sheds light on intellectual interactions within the broader Middle East and its diasporas.

Complementary scholarly interests might include philosophy of religion; ritual; religion and the arts; religion and literature; religious and political conflict; religion and secularism/post-secularism; relations of Christian and Islamic worlds within the broader Middle East, the Horn of Africa, Russia, eastern Europe, the Caucasus, or globally.
