New York Theological Seminary offers a three-year appointment as Research
Scholar in the Ecologies of Learning Project, which is its research unit on
urban religion. The position could also include a visiting faculty
appointment, and could begin as early as September 2006 (or as late as
September 2007, depending on availability of the successful candidate). NYTS
is an independent, non-denominational, fully accredited graduate theological
institution with more than 400 students. The Ecologies of Learning Project,
funded for five years by the Lilly Endowment, examines the mutual impact of
religion, religious organizations, and urban structures. While using
conventional social science and religious studies methods, the research team
also engages the subjects of study in
the research through interactive forums and consultations. EOL is in
its second year and has generated ethnographic data from nearly 100
congregational and neighborhood studies in New York and adjacent cities,
suburbs, and exurbs. The Research Scholar will work with the project
director, staff, and students to extend the research, analyze the data,
interact with the congregations and communities we study, and publish our
findings. The Research Scholar should have a Ph.D. in an appropriate field,
training and experience in ethnographic and quantitative research methods
(preferably including mapping/GIS), and knowledge of urban and cultural
sociology and religious studies. Ability to work with minority and/or
immigrant people and organizations is important. Candidates should send a
letter of interest with CV and contact information for three references to
