Summary
Career Development Fellowships
The Department of Theology and Religion seeks to appoint an excellent early career scholar as Career Development Fellow in New Testament for a term of three years. The Fellow will provide teaching in place of Professor Grant Macaskill, Lightfoot Professor of Divinity, during his tenure of a Leverhulme Senior Research Fellowship. We welcome applications from those with research and teaching interests in the broad field of New Testament studies. The successful applicant will ideally be in post by 1st September 2025.
The University is committed to enabling all our colleagues to achieve their full potential. Durham University's Career Development Fellowships are fixed term positions, which include structured development support for early career academics to deliver outstanding education, innovative research/scholarship, and to engage in citizenship activities. The post-holder will be a full academic member of the Department, working alongside world-class colleagues, with the support of a designated mentor.
Career Development Fellows will benefit from tailored support to strengthen their skills, will be provided with a range of academic opportunities, and will benefit from protected time to foster different aspects of their career. The Career Development Fellowships will enable early career academics to acquire a strong and well-rounded foundation to support future applications for substantive academic roles at Durham or elsewhere (no guarantee can be given that a permanent role at Durham will be available for the CDF to apply for at the end of the Fellowship).
