The Pacific Regional Seminary, Fiji, seeks the assistance of a suitably qualified lecturer in philosophy to contribute to the formation of Catholic seminarians within a structured academic program comprising eleven courses delivered annually, commencing in 2027. The program is ordinarily taught by two lecturers in philosophy. In the coming year, only one philosophy lecturer will be available to undertake these courses. Accordingly, an additional lecturer is required to ensure the full, effective, and sustained delivery of the curriculum.
The Seminary would welcome expressions of availability from a candidate with a strong academic background in philosophy, preferably at the postgraduate level, and with demonstrated experience in teaching, ideally within a seminary or ecclesiastical context. Retired academics who remain willing and able to contribute for a term at the Pacific Regional Seminary are also warmly encouraged to consider this opportunity. The capacity to engage seminarians in rigorous philosophical inquiry, to integrate philosophical reflection with theological formation, and to contribute meaningfully to their intellectual and spiritual development is essential. The role entails responsibility for teaching a selection of the philosophy courses, close collaboration with the existing lecturer, and active participation in maintaining the continuity, coherence, and academic integrity of the overall program. Accommodation will be provided, and remuneration is negotiable in accordance with qualifications and experience. While a commitment of up to three years is preferred to ensure continuity and stability within the program, applications are also welcome from those able to commit initially for one year (2027), including retired academics willing to serve for a term, with the possibility of extension to be mutually discerned thereafter. We would be grateful for your kind consideration of this request and would welcome any expressions of interest. Here are the courses.
