The applicant should be a THOMIST willing to teach the courses of Christendom's core curriculum and major courses in PHILOSOPHY.

Located an hour and a half west of Washington, D.C., in the foot hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Christendom College is a small coeducational liberal arts institution dedicated to the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church. As a positive expression of the specifically Catholic character of Christendom College and in accord with the desire of the Holy See as expressed in the Apostolic Constitution Ex Corde Ecclesiae, members of the faculty voluntarily make a public Profession of Faith (the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed) and take the Oath of Fidelity.

Application Deadline: February 2, 2007

Inquiries about the position may be directed to Dr. Cuddeback (jcuddeback@christendom.edu; 540-636-2900, ext.332)

I'm not sure if someone is leaving... who is currently in the department? Dr. Andres, Mr. Brown, Dr. Cuddeback, Dr. Flippen, and Dr. Snyder. Mr. O'Herron is still teaching a course or two for philosophy, evidently.
