The successful candidate will have an advanced degree in a theological discipline and, ideally, a doctorate in a field relevant to the Chair. He or she will have an established record of public engagement, work experience, and publication within a field relevant to Marketplace Theology and Leadership and will have a minimum of five years’ teaching experience at the post-secondary level.
