This is a continuing (i.e. tenure-track) Teaching & Research position, the duties of which will include: the coordination and teaching of at least 3 undergraduate courses per year; a sustained research profile which aims to publish a minimum average of 1.5 publication points per year (e.g. a refereed journal article or research book chapter counts for 1 point), and to apply for competitive research grant funding at least 2 times every 5 years; supervision of theses by M.A., PhD, and 4th-year Honours students to completion; and a variety of engagement activities and School leadership roles. As for teaching, the successful candidate will initially teach the courses "Practical Archaeology," "Archaeology of the Classical Greek World," and "The Age of Alexander the Great."
