It will be the responsibility of this instructor to offer five semester-long courses per year (two in one semester and three in the other, amounting to 15 and 10 class hours per week, respectively). Normally two of these five courses will be in Sanskrit and the other three will be variously divided from year to year between Latin and Greek. Very fluent English is a requirement. The annual salary for these services will be approximately $33,000. For further information, please contact Professor Hayden Pelliccia (hnp1@cornell.edu). Review of applications will begin April 15, 2005 and will continue until the position is filled.

They should also have two brief letters of reference attesting to their qualifications in Greek, Latin and Sanskrit sent directly from the recommenders either to the address just given or, preferably, by e-mail to Prof. Pelliccia.
