DUKE UNIVERSITY – DURHAM, NC
The Department of Classical Studies at Duke University invites applications for a one-year Visiting Assistant Professor with Ph.D. in hand by the time of appointment. The position begins in Fall 2008, and might be renewable. We seek a broadly trained Classicist well versed in both Latin and Greek languages and literatures, whose specialty is either Latin prose or Republican literature. We encourage applicants with proven ability to teach intermediate and advanced undergraduate courses in Latin prose and verse, literature in translation, and possibly advanced undergraduate Greek. The successful candidate will have a 3/2 teaching load and perhaps the opportunity to teach a graduate course.
Please send a letter of application, a curriculum vitae, three letters of reference, and a representative writing sample (a published article or at least one approved chapter of a dissertation) to Latin Search Committee, Department of Classical Studies, 233 Allen Building, Box 90103, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708-0103. Questions may be addressed to Jenna Golnik <jgolnik@duke.edu>. Applications received by December 28, 2007 will receive fullest consideration. We expect to interview some candidates at the APA/AIA Annual Meeting in Chicago in January 2008, but we will continue to accept applications until January 15, 2008.
