Director, The Anglican Episcopal House of Studies

Duke University Divinity School is seeking a Director for the Anglican Episcopal House of Studies, starting July 1, 2023. The AEHS is a community of Episcopal and other Anglican students engaged in study, prayer, and ministry within an ecumenical university divinity school.

The Director will nurture the community of students representing a range of Episcopal and other Anglican traditions, oversee all aspects of ministerial formation for Master of Divinity students, and foster ecclesial relations – regionally, nationally, and throughout the Anglican world – with bishops, clergy, and congregations. The Director will serve as a regular-rank member of the Divinity School faculty and hold the Jack and Barbara Bovender Chair of Anglican Episcopal Studies, teaching approximately half-time in both Anglican Episcopal studies courses and at least one other area. A Master of Divinity degree (or equivalent), lay or ordained ministerial experience within an Anglican tradition, and an academic doctorate (Ph.D. or equivalent) in a relevant discipline are desired.

Duke University is an affirmative action equal opportunity employer; women and ethnic minorities are encouraged to apply. This appointment is open rank. Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, listing both academic and ecclesial referees, accompanied by a (2-3 page) narrative description of their ministerial formation and work. Those who have recently received their doctorate, or expect to receive it during the current academic year, should include an official transcript for the highest degree held and three letters of reference. Review of applications and nominations will begin January 1, 2023.

All members of our community have a responsibility to uphold these values.
