The Classical Civilizations Department at Gonzaga University invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor of ancient Greek literature and culture. We seek an individual with a strong generalist background (although a specialty in prose is welcome), who will be expected to teach Greek and Latin at all undergraduate levels, courses in Greek and Roman culture, literature-in-translation, and mythology.
