The SCS Placement Service serves candidates in the fields of classical studies and archaeology who are on the job market as well as institutions seeking to hire such candidates. The SCS welcomes job listings that reflect the full range of opportunities for students and teachers of classical studies and archaeology today, from employers seeking scholars of language, literature, and material culture (and combinations of those areas) for academic positions as well as for nonacademic employment.
Advertisements are published on the Current Placement Advertisements page until the end of the placement year, which runs from July to July each year. At the end of the placement year, the advertisements are moved into the Placement Archive.
Please note that the SCS has not been offering onsite interview facilities and scheduling services at the Annual Meeting since 2020.
