Bowdoin College, a private, undergraduate, coeducational institution, invites applications for a two-year, non-renewable position in the Department of Classics at the Assistant Professor or Instructor level beginning Fall 2002.

Teaching responsibilities will include five courses annually, at all levels of Greek and Latin languages and literatures from introductory through advanced; at least one of the five courses each year will be on a topic in translation, ideally in an area of special interest to the candidate. Such topics might include: mythology; social history; Roman law; literature in translation; gender and sexuality in antiquity. Review of applications will begin December 1, 2001. A letter of application, curriculum vitae and three letters of reference should be submitted to: Professor James Higginbotham, Chair, Department of Classics, Bowdoin College, 7600 College Station, Brunswick, ME 04011-8476.

Two tenure track positions in Women's Studies beginning August 2002. We expect to hire at the assistant professor level but are open to an appointment at associate or full professor for one of the two positions. These two positions will support the core of our Women's Studies Program that now has over 30 faculty members teaching courses in it. The two positions will ideally complement one another in disciplinary perspective (one in social science and one in humanities) and in terms of location of inquiry (U.S.-based and global). Both positions require a firm grounding in women's studies and feminist theory. The faculty in these positions will be responsible for teaching in rotation the introductory women's studies course, feminist theory, a senior level capstone course for majors, and courses in their own areas of expertise. Bowdoin College (http://www.bowdoin.edu) is a small, liberal arts college with highly motivated students, a two-course teaching load per semester, and support for serious scholarly engagement by faculty.

Ph.D. prior to appointment preferred. Candidates for these positions should demonstrate the potential for excellent teaching and scholarship and the ability to work effectively with colleagues and students in an interdisciplinary program. To apply, please submit a cover letter that includes courses one would be interested in teaching, curriculum vitae, three letters of reference, examples of published research or works in progress, and evidence of teaching effectiveness to Rachel Connelly, Director Women's Studies Program, Bowdoin College, 7100 College Station, Brunswick, ME 04011. No electronic submissions. Applications received prior to October 15th will receive full consideration. Bowdoin College is committed to equal opportunity through affirmative action. Women and members of minority groups are encouraged to apply.
