Wycliffe College is pleased to invite applications for a full-time, core faculty position in New Testament, with a preference for an appointment to begin August 1, 2026.
The deadline for applications is December 12, 2025. Long-listed candidates will be interviewed by video in January. Short-listed candidates will be interviewed on campus in early February 2026.
Wycliffe is a graduate school of Theology in the evangelical and Anglican tradition, working within the Toronto School of Theology (https://www.tst.edu) and granting degrees conjointly with the University of Toronto (https://www.utoronto.ca/about-u-of-t). Founded in 1877, Wycliffe College has been preparing students for ecclesial, academic, and community ministry for nearly 150 years and stewards a proud tradition of scholarly excellence to the glory of God and for the love of the church.
Applicants for this position should have a deep affinity with Wycliffe’s mission, vision, and moral commitments, and must be able to subscribe to the College’s Six Principles (see https://www.wycliffecollege.ca/about-us/mission-values).
The ideal candidate will:
· Be an established scholar with a relevant PhD or ThD.
· Have a strong track record of publication, graduate teaching, and research supervision.
· Be competent and willing to teach within the full range of the New Testament field. This includes teaching classes in Greek language and exegesis at a variety of levels, especially intermediate and advanced.
· Articulate a clearly formulated research agenda. Candidates with expertise in the Gospels, the Catholic Epistles, Hebrews, and/or Revelation are especially encouraged to apply.
· Demonstrate a commitment to interpreting New Testament texts theologically, including an awareness of their relationship to Scripture as a whole and their historical and contemporary significance for Christian theology.
· Demonstrate a practical commitment to the life and flourishing of Christ’s church and the capacity to connect scholarship to the formation of leaders and Christian communities (ordination in the Anglican tradition is desirable but not essential).
The successful candidate will be able to teach with awareness of the range of Christian traditions represented within the student community and to resonate with the evangelical Anglican ethos in which Wycliffe College is historically rooted. They will have the ability and willingness to teach in both on-campus and online modes, supervise theses at the doctoral level, and pursue publishable research. As the position requires in-person teaching and mentoring of students, candidates must be prepared to re-locate to, or within a reasonable commuting distance of, Toronto, Ontario.
Responsibilities include teaching up to five courses per year and making productive use of Wycliffe’s generous sabbatical policies. The successful candidate will be expected to participate in the wider community life of the College and Chapel, preaching where asked and enjoying a collegial rapport with other faculty at Wycliffe and TST.
Wycliffe has a diverse and global student body and is situated in one of the world’s most multicultural cities. Therefore, we particularly welcome applications from individuals who can continue to help our faculty mirror the diversity of our community.
