We will also consider applications from scholars who study the impact of Catholic people, institutions, beliefs, rituals, and practices on broader global phenomena, especially but not only in the global South, including but not limited to colonization/decolonization;
migration; intellectual life; social structures and social policies; gender, enslavement; international diplomacy, and more.
Position duties include research, teaching, and service. The successful candidate will be prepared to contribute to and engage with Notre Dame’s Global Catholic Research Initiative , launched in 2025.
Candidates at the entry level must have completed all requirements for a PhD degree or have completed all but dissertation in the History of Global Catholicism or a closely related field.
