NEW YORK UNIVERSITY - NEW YORK, NY (Two Positions)
POSITION ONE: DEPT. OF CLASSICS: The Department of Classics of the Faculty of Arts and Science at New York University continues its search for a scholar of Greek literature. This appointment, to begin in September 2001, will complement recent hires in Greek historiography and political philosophy. Rank and area of specialization are open. Please send by December 1, 2000 a letter of application, curriculum vitae, and three letters of reference to: Professor Matthew Santirocco, Search Committee Chair, Department of Classics, New York University, 25 Waverly Place, New York, NY 10003. NYU is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.
POSITION TWO: GALLATIN School of Individualized Study: Classical Studies in a Comparative Framework. The Gallatin School seeks an experienced teacher/scholar whose interest in classical Greek culture includes a comparative background in the ancient Mediterranean world. Other related areas could include Mesopotamian, Hebrew, or Egyptian civilizations, Hellenistic or Roman cultures, or early Christian movements. We seek someone who teaches texts and artifacts in a cultural and historical context, and also comparatively, through multiple cultural influences. The candidate needs to guide students in reading texts in a complex and critical way, against the grain of canonization, in relation to current arguments about culture, gender, and politics. An ideal candidate loves teaching, takes interdisciplinary approaches to teaching and research, and is willing to engage in intensive individual mentoring of students. Rank is open.
Gallatin offers the BA and MA in individualized study: student-created concentrations, intensive advisement and mentoring, experiential learning and student-centered teaching. Students combine course work from most NYU schools with Gallatin seminars and non-classroom study. Our courses bridge debates from the great books tradition with current scholarship, contemporary issues and alternative canons. Qualifications: Ph.D. or equivalent; commitment to non-traditional education, especially advising and mentoring; excellent teaching skills; ability to develop innovative courses and projects; high-quality scholarship. Send letter of application and c.v. only to: Chair, Faculty Search Committee, Gallatin School of Individualized Study, New York University, 715 Broadway, New York, NY 10003. Review of materials will begin on November 1, 2000. The Gallatin School is strongly committed to building a diverse community among our faculty, staff and students. Gallatin's web site can be found at www.nyu.edu/gallatin. NYU encourages applications from women and members of minority groups.
