Another day, another application…

Well, not quite. There aren’t enough positions around to apply for a new one every day
Still, at the start of every week I go through all the emails that get sent to me from various job sites and tertiary educational institutions HR systems, check university, church and college web sites, plus RSS feeds relating to jobs in humanities etc. Also send out emails to prospective employers and check in with other folk. I’ve met some nice folk doing that, just no-one with a job.

By Tuesday each week I feel a bit like Cecilia in the cartoon below.

PHD Comics: Untimely accident

Must be somewhere that needs/wants a theologian with expertise in doctrines of creation, eschatology, anthropology and research interests in their intersection with science, technology, ecology, media, pop culture and spirituality. (Plus a love of the OT and expertise in providing IT/internet support for and the teaching of distance theological education). It’s not as if they’re irrelevant topics for the church today.

Interestingly, the most recent positions I’ve seen advertised in Australasia have all been for OT specialists. See:

Would appreciate a flaming angelic messenger (or even a talking donkey) about now.
