RICE UNIVERSITY – HOUSTON, TX
Applications are invited for a two year postdoctoral position in ancient art in the Department of Art History at Rice University. The position calls for teaching one art history course per semester. This fellowship is envisioned as part of the dynamic collaboration between Rice and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston.

The fellowship will begin July 1, 2010 and the Ph.D. must be in hand by that date. The salary will be $45,000 per year, plus benefits. Deadline for applications is April 15, 2010.
To apply, please submit: a two-page, single-spaced statement of your scholarly research project; samples of your publications and/or dissertation chapters; a description of your areas of teaching expertise; a curriculum vitae; a list of several courses that you might teach at Rice; two letters of recommendation to be sent on your behalf.
