Education

At Wheeling University, you'll find more than just a workplace - you'll join a mission-driven community that lives by values of leadership, service, faith, integrity, and excellence. As an employee, you'll be part of a university that is committed to integrating learning, research, and outreach within its Catholic tradition, seeking to develop not only competent professionals, but also socially responsible citizens. Wheeling promotes close student-faculty connections and encourages all members to grow both intellectually and ethically, to serve with compassion among diverse communities, and to lead by example. In such an environment, your work will matter - your contributions help sustain a culture where academic rigor, moral purpose, and service to others are not just ideals, but daily practice.

Wheeling University invites applications for a tenure-track position in Theology at the rank of Assistant Professor beginning in Spring 2026. The successful candidate will lead and develop the University's Theology program while teaching a 4-4 course load across the undergraduate curriculum. Candidates without the terminal degree will also be considered for a non-tenure-track position at the rank of Instructor.

Applications will be reviewed beginning October 2025 and continue until the position is filled.

Responsibilities

• Teach four undergraduate courses per semester in Theology, including core curriculum and upper-level electives.
• Provide academic leadership for the Theology program, including curriculum development and assessment.
