The Department of Classics at New York University invites applications for a position in the field of Latin literature, at the rank of assistant professor (tenure-track), to begin September 1, 2019, pending final administrative and budgetary approval. We welcome candidates working in any field of Latin literature; however, we expect that the successful applicant will be an innovative scholar who will complement the department’s existing strengths. We are especially interested in candidates whose research encompasses the perspectives of those on the geographic or social margins of Roman culture.
Application materials should include the following: an application letter, curriculum vitae, a copy of graduate transcripts, three letters of recommendation, and a writing sample (c.8000 words). Please apply through the following Interfolio link (apply.interfolio.com/55617), by November 1, 2018; inquiries may be directed to the chair of the committee, Professor David Levene (D.S.Levene@nyu.edu or 212-998-8598). For more information about the NYU Department of Classics, please visit our web site (http://classics.as.nyu.edu/page/home).
