The Department of Classics at Johns Hopkins University seeks to fill a new position at the rank of (tenured) associate or full professor. Research specialization is open, and applications are encouraged from classicists working on any aspect of Greco-Roman culture and its reception, though it is expected that the successful applicant will complement, supplement, or deepen the department’s existing strengths. Applicants are required to have a Ph.D. or equivalent and, given the level of the proposed appointment, should already have significant records of publication, teaching, and service at the time of application. The department is conducting a broad and inclusive search committed to hiring a candidate who, through research, teaching, and service, will contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community.
The department offers robust undergraduate and graduate (Ph.D.) programs, collaborates closely with other departments, centers, and programs at the university, and regularly hosts lectures and conferences by distinguished scholars from around the globe. Additional information about the department’s activities may be found on its website (http://classics.jhu.edu).

(2) a CV,

Additional materials, including letters of recommendation, may be requested at a later date.
