WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY – WINSTON-SALEM, NC
The Department of Classical Languages at Wake Forest University invites applications for a tenure-track position to begin in the fall semester 2016 at the rank of Assistant Professor. We seek a specialist in Greek language and literature who is prepared (and eager) to teach both Greek and Latin at all levels, as well as courses with readings in translation; who shares the University’s teacher-scholar ideal of excellence in both teaching and research; and who looks forward to participating in the life of the university and the wider profession. Applications will be accepted and reviewed until the position is filled, with review to begin on November 15, 2015. We expect to conduct interviews at the SCS meeting in January 2016, and require the dissertation to be defended successfully by July 1, 2016.

From the Wake Forest Search Committee
We apologize for any problems applicants are having with the Silk Road site which the University’s Human Relations Department asked us to use. We did not know that it requested information about salary or diversity and want to assure applicants that the Search Committee does not see that information. In addition, we can assure you that the documents we have received so far through Silk Road are correctly formatted. If you prefer, you may send your materials directly to the Chair of the Search Committee, Mary Pendergraft, pender@wfu.edu.
