Nouwen Fellow

Western Theological Seminary (WTS), Holland, Michigan, is an evangelical and ecumenical community of faith and learning in the Reformed tradition that serves the church of Jesus Christ by forming women and men for faithful Christian ministry and participation in the Triune God’s ongoing redemptive work in the world.

WTS is actively pursuing diversity (understood in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, and ability) in its faculty and has established a Nouwen Fellow program to encourage applications from ABD or post-doctoral candidates.  Candidate research should focus on some aspect of disability theology, with an interest and competency in children’s faith, worship, therapeutic horsemanship, or theology of creation and animals.  Scholars with disabilities are especially encouraged to apply.  

The Nouwen Fellow should be committed to the historic Christian faith, the Reformed theological tradition, the mission and identity of Western Theological Seminary, and the education and ordination of women for all forms of ministry.

One full-time position is available with a one-quarter teaching load assigned. This is designed to allow the Nouwen Fellow to teach while also providing time for the Fellow to complete the Ph.D. dissertation or conduct research.  The Nouwen Fellow will also work with faculty to develop programs related to the WTS Center for Disability and Ministry (CDM) and will participate in the CDM’s Nurturing Children with Disabilities initiative. Competitive salary and benefits provided. 

If mutually agreed, the fellowship may be extended to a second-year appointment.   The Nouwen Fellow will be equipped to enter the academic job market with a completed degree and some teaching experience.

Interested candidates should send a letter of application and curriculum vitae to the Faculty Search Committee, Attn: Rayetta Perez, Director of Administration and Human Resources, employment@westernsem.edu. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
