Welcome! St. Thomas is a comprehensive Catholic university making a global impact. Our 800+ talented, innovative, and engaged full-time and part-time faculty provide an exceptional educational experience for our 9,000+ undergraduate and graduate students.
St. Thomas faculty are outstanding teachers, building meaningful relationships with their students in small classes and through high-impact learning, mentoring, and advising opportunities. But our faculty aren't only teachers; they are serious scholars doing work that moves ideas forward. Our faculty conduct scientific research. They write books. They invent. They solve problems. And they often involve students in this work.
What makes the St. Thomas faculty experience special? We provide our faculty what they need to flourish: support for their work as teachers and scholars, a community that values and celebrates their contributions, and a mission-centered environment where our faculty's gifts can meet the world's needs. We know that being a faculty member is more than a job; it is a calling and a vocation. And we know that hiring new faculty members is one of the most important things we do. We're here to help as you learn more about us, find opportunities of interest, and move through the application process. Connect with us anytime!
