Executive Director for Online and Extended Education Programs Opening

At BioLogos, evangelical Christians are engaged in serious dialogue about faith and mainstream science. We are passionate about exploring and celebrating the compatibility of evolution and biblical faith, guided by the truth that “all things hold together in Christ.” Our network includes professional scientists, biblical scholars, philosophers, theologians, pastors, and educators. Founded in 2008 by Dr. Francis Collins -– best-selling author of The Language of God and head of the National Institutes of Health -- BioLogos provides virtual and actual meeting places where the best Christian minds meet on topics of mutual interest for the good of the church.

We are searching for a qualified candidate to develop high-quality resources—both general and scholarly—to move the science and faith discussion forward. The position will be responsible for recruiting, curating, and editing content to be published on the BioLogos website. You will work with writers to create our daily blog series, The BioLogos Forum, as well as develop other resources (curricula, infographics, videos, etc.) as a member of the BioLogos team. We are looking for someone who embodies the BioLogos vision of communicating in humility, truth, and grace, celebrating Christian unity while sharing the best of modern science with the church. The ideal candidate will hold at least a master's degree (preferably a doctoral degree), in a field of science, religion, or a related area, with experience writing at the intersection of faith and science.

BioLogos is committed to helping the Church – and students in particular – see that great science is not opposed to vibrant faith. Our website has become a trusted resource on contemporary issues at the science/faith interface and is viewed by thousands each day. Our popular daily blog, The BioLogos Forum, has featured the work of over two hundred leading theologians, scientists, and pastors. Through web dialogues and conferences, we work to build bridges among Christians who disagree about evolution, and our teacher workshops have equipped biology teachers at dozens of Christian schools. Our grant program funds the work of scholars and ministers across the country and around the world.

If you share our passion for promoting the harmony of faith and science to the modern Church, we urge you to consider joining the BioLogos team. This is a full-time, benefit eligible position with some travel required for conferences and events.

STARBRIDGE Lecturer in THEOLOGY AND NATURAL SCIENCE

FACULTY OF DIVINITY

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE

The Faculty of Divinity intends to make a new appointment to the Starbridge Lectureship in Theology and Natural Science following the retirement of the current holder, Dr Fraser Watts, in September 2013. The Faculty invites applications from candidates with a proven academic record in Theology, Religious Studies, the Natural Sciences and/ or the History and Philosophy of Science. The appointment will be made at the level of university lecturer.

The Starbridge Lectureship was endowed through a benefaction from the novelist, Mrs Susan Howatch, and first filled in 1994 by the present holder, Dr Fraser Watts. Cambridge has long been a significant centre of work on the interface between Theology and the Sciences. The endowment of the Starbridge Lectureship in Theology and Natural Science at the University of Cambridge marked a significant step in the general recognition of the importance of the field, and firmly established Cambridge as a major centre of it.

The person appointed to this post will have the opportunity to build on this tradition. She or he will be expected to have a doctorate in a relevant field and a strong research record demonstrating a high level of expertise both in Theology and in a specific area of the Natural Sciences and/or the History and Philosophy of Science. The Faculty are not specifying any preferred specialism, but applicants will be invited to explain how their research interests and plans would relate to those currently exercised within the Faculty, both in its broader profile in Theology and Religious Studies, and in relation to the particular research interests represented in the Faculty.

The establishment of the Faculty of Divinity consists of 21 University Teaching Officers. The Theological and Religious Studies Tripos is a three-year undergraduate course. Theology and Science is an important part of this Tripos, and attracts good student numbers; the successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the teaching of Tripos papers in Theology and Natural Science. The present post-holder offers a survey paper in Theology and Natural Science, and a more specialist paper in the psychological study of religion. The precise choice of specialist papers would depend on the strengths of the appointee. The successful candidate may be asked to undertake supervision of Tripos students by some Colleges.

There is also a one-year course for the postgraduate Diploma in Theology and Religious Studies and a one-year course for the M.Phil. in Theology and Religious Studies. The person appointed will be expected to contribute to teaching for the M Phil and will have the opportunity to develop appropriate courses. The Faculty is responsible for about 100 research students, including some working on topics in the field of Science and Religion; the supervision of PhD students is one of the duties of the Starbridge Lecturer. There is potential for MPhil and doctoral numbers to be increased.

All University Teaching Officers in the Faculty are expected to share in the examining of undergraduate and graduate students, and to fulfil administrative duties as directed. They are expected to engage in independent research at the highest levels of excellence.

It is hoped that the successful candidate will be able to take up appointment on 1 September 2013 or as soon as possible thereafter. The appointment will be subject to five years’ probation. University Lecturers are entitled to apply for a Senior Lectureship, Readership or Professorship under the University’s procedures for Senior Academic Promotion.

Appointment to a University Lectureship does not carry with it election to a College Fellowship, but the successful applicant may subsequently be invited by a College to accept election.

The pensionable scale of stipends is £37,012- £46,846.

Informal enquiries may be made to Professor Judith Lieu, Chairman of the Faculty Board, jml68@cam.ac.uk .
