The Vassar College Department of Greek and Roman Studies invites applications for a two-year position as Visiting Assistant Professor to begin in Fall 2017. Vassar College is an affirmative action and equal opportunity employer with a strong commitment to increasing the diversity of the campus community and the curriculum and promoting an environment of equality, inclusion and respect for difference. Candidates who can contribute to that goal are encouraged to identify their strengths and experiences in this area. Applicants who have demonstrated commitment to diversity and inclusion are particularly encouraged to apply.

Applicants must be prepared to teach Latin and Greek language and literature at all levels of the curriculum. The area of specialty is open, but we are especially interested in courses that have the potential to be cross-listed with one of Vassar’s multi disciplinary programs. The teaching load is five courses per year. For 2017-18, the teaching assignment will be three courses in Latin and two courses in translation proposed by the successful applicant. Candidates must have completed the Ph.D. by July 1, 2017.

A complete application should include a curriculum vitae, a cover letter, a graduate school transcript (unofficial copies accepted for initial application), and three letters of reference. Applicants should have letters of reference submitted according to the instructions on the application web site. Preliminary interviews will be conducted by Skype in January. Finalists will be asked to submit a writing sample (e.g. dissertation chapter, conference presentation, published article). Questions may be directed to Rachel Friedman, Chair of Greek and Roman Studies, at rafriedman@vassar.edu. To receive full consideration, applications should be received by December 15, 2016.
