BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY – WALTHAM, MA
The Department of Classical Studies at Brandeis University announces an opening for Fall 2006 to teach one course, the second half of elementary Greek (Greek 20 in our curriculum). The course meets Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon on the Brandeis campus.
While the prospective candidate should be prepared to inspire students about the subjunctive mood, irregular verbs, and the linguistic intricacies embedded in ancient Greek, we would be delighted to find, in addition, someone equally passionate about ancient Greek life, literature or history. Greek 20 is, after all, the gateway to further study in Greek language, literature, and civilization. The course involves reading excerpts from a variety of Greek authors across a wide range of time. The textbook is Hansen and Quinn.
The candidate should be either an ABD or a Ph.D., preferably in Greek language and literature, although candidates in related fields of Classical Studies with demonstrated excellence in ancient Greek are also invited to apply.
Please e-mail or mail a letter of introduction, including teaching experience and research interests, and current curriculum vitae to: Prof. Ann Olga Koloski-Ostrow, Chair, Department of Classical Studies, M/S 016, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA 02454-9110. E-mail: aoko@brandeis.edu.
Email responses with attachments as MS Word documents or PDF files are preferred. First consideration will be given to applications received by Friday, March 17, 2006. Brandeis University is an equal opportunity employer, committed to building a culturally diverse, intellectual community, and strongly encourages applications from women and minorities.
The Department of Classical Studies at Brandeis University announces an opening for spring 2006, to teach one "culture" course suitable within the department's curriculum. The course is slated to meet Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., although a change to this schedule may be possible.
The prospective candidate should be an ABD or Ph.D. in Classics, Classical Studies, Ancient History, or Classical Art and Archaeology. Rank and title will be determined by the candidate's training.
The candidate must have excellent undergraduate teaching credentials and the ability to mount a course attractive to a broad campus constituency—i.e., one aimed not solely at Classical Studies majors and minors. Possible topics are: Women in Antiquity, Ancient Empires, Ancient Economics, Science in Antiquity, Ancient Greek and/or Roman Religion, or aspects of Classical Mythology, to name a few. We are certainly open to other suggestions from the candidate. Please email or mail a letter of introduction, current /curriculum vitae/, and proposed syllabus for the course to: Professor Ann Olga Koloski-Ostrow, Chair, Department of Classical Studies, M/S 016, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA 02454-9110.
