Padnos Family Professorship in Jewish Thought
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor: College of Literature, Science, and the Arts: Frankel Center for Judaic Studies
The Frankel Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan invites applications for the Padnos Family Professorship in Jewish Thought. Successful candidates will be appointed at the tenured rank of Associate or Full Professor (UK/Commonwealth: Senior Lecturer or above).
This field as we envision it encompasses the full range and dynamism of textual, material, embodied, and ritual sources that Jews across the globe have thought with and through. We invite applications from scholars working in all subfields, geographical areas, periods, and languages of Jewish thought. We welcome scholars whose work in related fields such as anthropology, political theory, law, religious studies, gender/sexuality/queer studies, environment and ecology intersects with the study of Jewish thought.
Qualifications
Candidates should demonstrate outstanding scholarly achievement as well as excellence in undergraduate and graduate teaching and mentorship. They will also be expected to contribute to the Frankel Center’s public outreach efforts and participate in cross-departmental initiatives and collaborations.
This is a university-year appointment with an expected start date of August 28, 2023.
