3) The Department of Classics at Columbia University has been authorized to make an appointment at the rank of assistant professor, beginning in Fall, 2004, with preference for a specialization in Greek literature. Applicants should be recent recipients of the doctorate or expecting to receive it before next fall. The appointee will be expected to teach a wide range of courses at all linguistic levels (elementary to graduate). The person appointed will also be expected to teach regularly in the Columbia College core curriculum. Scholarly promise and evidence of excellence in teaching will be expected.
