Applicants should send the usual dossier, including three letters of recommendation and a writing sample (a dissertation chapter or an article); they should indicate whether or not they will attend the annual meeting, and they should make clear in their correspondence how they can best be reached, especially during the month of December.

Applicants for last year's unfilled junior position may, if they prefer, simply update their files (they should indicate this in their cover letters). Applications should be directed to Jeff Tatum, Department of Classics, Dodd Hall, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL 32306-1510. All applications must be postmarked by December 1st.
