BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY – WALTHAM, MA
POSITION ONE: The Department of Classical Studies at Brandeis University announces an opening for fall 2007 to teach one course, the third semester of Latin language (Latin 30 in our curriculum). The course meets Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on the Brandeis campus, and the time cannot be altered.
While the prospective candidate should be prepared to inspire students about the subjunctive mood and irregular verbs, we would be delighted to find, in addition, someone equally passionate about ancient Roman life, literature, or history. Latin 30 is, after all, the gateway to further study in these areas. The course involves reading excerpts from a variety of Roman authors across a wide range of time.
The candidate should be either an ABD or Ph.D., preferably in Latin language and literature, although candidates in related fields of Classical Studies with demonstrated excellence in Latin are also invited to apply.
Please e-mail or mail a letter of introduction, including teaching experience and research interests, current curriculum vitae, and three letters of recommendation to: Professor Anne Olga Koloski-Ostrow, Chair, Department of Classical Studies, M/S 016, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA 02454-9110. E-mail: aoko@brandeis.edu.
E-mail responses with attachments as MS Word documents or .pdf files are preferred for candidate submissions as well as letters of recommendation. First consideration will be given to applications received by Friday, March 30, 2007.

POSITION TWO: The Department of Classical Studies at Brandeis University announces an opening for fall 2007 to teach one course in Greek History (CLAS 115). The candidate may select the Greek history topic (with department approval), but must be accessible to a wide range of Brandeis undergraduates with diverse backgrounds and preparations. The class meets Monday and Wednesday from 3:30-5:00 p.m. (The time cannot be altered.)
The successful candidate should be prepared to inspire students about such topics as the movements of peoples in the Bronze Age or the politics of Periclean Athens. (It should not, however, be Alexander the Great, which was recently taught.) Creative ideas are welcome.
The candidate should be an ABD or Ph.D., preferably in Greek and Roman History, although candidates in related fields of Classical Studies with demonstrated excellence in ancient history are also invited to apply.
Please e-mail or mail a letter of introduction, including teaching experience and research interests, current curriculum vitae, and three letters of recommendation to: Professor Anne Olga Koloski-Ostrow, Chair, Department of Classical Studies, M/S 016, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA 02454-9110.
