Applicants who are ABD or possess a Master’s degree, accompanied by commensurate academic experience in Roman culture and Latin philology or a closely-related field (5-7 years of college or professional teaching) will be considered. The successful candidate may need to teach either hybrid or online courses, depending on the public health situation and university guidelines.
