Applicants must have the PhD in hand by this date. We are searching for an outstanding and versatile scholar with expertise in Classics (specializing in ancient Greek literature) and broad research interests that are informed by, and contribute to, research in the cross-disciplinary Humanities.

The successful candidate will teach courses in both departments, including regular teaching for Directed Studies (http://www.yale.edu/directedstudies/). They will also be expected to supervise graduate students in Classics. Both departments value creativity and excellence in teaching and offer a stimulating and supportive pedagogical environment, with ample opportunities for collaboration and innovation.
