MOUNT ALLISON UNIVERSITY – SACKVILLE, NB, CANADA (Two Positions)
The Department of Classics at Mount Allison University invites applications for two positions. The first is a post-doctoral fellowship of one year's duration, beginning on July 1, 2011; the second is a full-time sessional sabbatical leave replacement for 9 months, beginning on August 1, 2011. Both are subject to budgetary approval.
For both positions, the Department of Classics seeks a candidate with an active research programme and appropriate teaching experience. The successful candidate for the post-doctoral position will teach four courses per year in ancient history, ancient literature, Greek and Roman art and archaeology and/or Greek and Latin. The successful candidate for the sabbatical leave replacement will teach five courses per year in ancient history, ancient literature, Greek and Roman art and archaeology and/or Greek and Latin. For this second position, preference will be given to candidates who teach Greek mythology. In both instances, the candidate should possess a Ph.D. and should be willing to teach and research within the framework of the undergraduate programme in Classics. The full-time sessional appointment will be made at the rank of Lecturer or Assistant Professor.
Mount Allison University has earned a national reputation for its excellent undergraduate programs. The Department of Classics teaches both introductory and advanced Greek and Latin language, and also holds a yearly archaeological field school. The University's facilities and growing emphasis on research support make this an attractive place to work, and our location is in a small historic town only 30 minutes from Moncton and its international airport.
