The Louisville Institute Postdoctoral Fellowship provides early career theological educators with vocational and professional formation through a two-year placement as a visiting scholar at a graduate theological school, college, university, or education and research organization in the United States and Canada. Preference will be given to doctoral students or recent graduates who demonstrate an interest in theological education as a vocation, who express an understanding of the current challenges and opportunities of theological education, and who articulate connections between their doctoral work and these trends and dynamics. Applicants must be scholars based in the United States and Canada who will complete all Ph.D. or Th.D. work, defend their dissertations, and receive their degrees no later than June 30, 2025. They must demonstrate appreciation for the Christian church and a commitment to theological education, and are able to articulate how their doctoral work and other experiences have prepared them to be a theological educator. Applicants must also be aware that postdoctoral placements often require relocation in order to match fellows with appropriate schools or departments. Two letters of recommendation must be submitted, one should come from a faculty mentor or advisor who can attest to your promise as a teacher and scholar in theological education, the significance of your work thus far, and your interest in and understanding of the role and purpose of theological education; and the other one should come from an academic mentor or colleague, preferably an experienced or senior scholar, who can speak to your academic promise and your interest in theological education. In addition, this recommender will be asked to comment on your personal qualities and commitments, including engagement with faith communities, if applicable.
