The Department of Greek and Roman Studies of the University of Victoria invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor appointment in Roman Art and Archaeology. In accordance with the University's equity plan and pursuant to Section 42 of the Human Rights code of the Province of British Columbia, we are seeking to make a preferential hire addressing gender imbalance within the Department; as such, applications from women will be given priority, although we encourage all qualified applicants to apply.

Applicants should hold a PhD and be demonstrably active in field-work; ideal candidates will have begun publishing and will have a demonstrable research and publication plan. The Department is particularly looking for an individual who is able to teach international field schools involving study-travel and to organize student-integrated field research. Past participation in community-engaged scholarship may be an important qualification, in addition to a willingness to implement such scholarship in this position. The successful applicant should be able to offer a broad range of courses in Roman Art and Archaeology, to introduce innovative courses related to his/her research areas, and to teach Roman Art and Archaeology at all levels of the undergraduate and graduate curriculum. In addition, the successful candidate should be able to supervise MA and PhD students concentrating on Roman Art and Archaeology and to participate in other relevant components of our graduate program. It is also expected that the candidate can teach Latin at the undergraduate level. The appointment will commence on July 1, 2015.

Please send a letter of application, curriculum vitae, a writing sample no longer than 30 pages, and a brief teaching dossier to the Chair. In addition, please send three confidential letters of reference addressing research and teaching strengths. For full consideration, all materials should be submitted by November 15, 2014 to:

The University of Victoria is an equity employer and encourages applications from women, persons with disabilities, visible minorities, Aboriginal Peoples, people of all sexual orientations, and others who may contribute to the further diversification of the University. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, in accordance with Canadian Immigration requirements, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. As this is a preferential hire, the search committee will further prioritize applications from female scholars in an effort to counter the underrepresentation of women in the department’s faculty.
