CLASSICS & ANCIENT MEDITERRANEAN STUDIES
The Department of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies at the Pennsylvania State University seeks applicants for a tenure-track appointment in Greek literature at the assistant professor level, beginning August 2003. Area of specialization is open, but some preference will be given to candidates who work on Homer or Hesiod. Primary teaching responsibilities include Greek language and literature at all levels and large lecture courses on Greek mythology and civilization. The department embraces the entire Mediterranean world in antiquity within its purview and therefore welcomes candidates who can contribute to dialogue across the fields of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies (the department's Web page can be found at http://www3.la.psu.edu/cams/). Familiarity with one or more of the ancient languages of the Near East (e.g. Hebrew, or Hittite) would also be considered an asset. Requirements include Ph.D. in hand by the time of the appointment, teaching experience, and evidence of scholarly publication(s). Please submit a letter of application, a curriculum vitae, a sample of scholarly writing (no more than 30 pages), and three letters of recommendation to Professor Mark Munn, Chair, Hellenist Search Committee, Department of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies, 108 Weaver Building, Box A, University Park, PA 16802-5500, USA. Applications received by November 15, 2002 are assured of consideration, but dossiers will be accepted until the position is filled.
