Reed College invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Classics and Humanities beginning August 2020. We seek to appoint a teacher-scholar of exceptional promise with research specialties in Greek or Latin literature that will complement the existing strengths of the department and the college. The successful candidate will teach a 3–2 load typically comprised of different levels of Greek and Latin together with a team-taught interdisciplinary humanities course for first-year students that focuses on building skills in reading, writing, and critical thinking. Reed faculty also advise year-long senior theses and mentor other forms of undergraduate research.
Applicants should demonstrate dedication to teaching excellence at the undergraduate level (especially in the courses mentioned above) as well as productive and sustained engagement in scholarship. Ph.D. required by the time of appointment.
