The Department of Greek & Roman Classics invites applications from candidates for a non-tenure-track, full-time position for the 2019-20 academic year.

The successful candidate will teach four courses in the fall and three in the spring. The fall schedule will consist of two sections of Race in the Ancient Mediterranean (General Education), an Honors General Education course (Greek Theater or Ancient War Games: Sport and Spectacle), and intermediate Latin. The spring schedule will consist of two sections of Greek history and Greek 2 or Latin 2.While no formal service is expected for this position, the appointee will be expected to participate in the full range of departmental activities.
Successful teaching experience is essential, both in civilization and language courses. Applicants with the doctorate in hand are preferred, but ABDs with strong teaching records and a scheduled dissertation defense will be considered as well. Candidates must already be authorized or eligible to work in the USA.
