RIPON COLLEGE – RIPON, WI
Ripon College invites applications for a two-year appointment as an ACM-Mellon post-doctoral teacher-scholar fellow in Classical Studies beginning August 2010.
Sponsored through generous funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation administered by the Associated Colleges of the Midwest (ACM,) a consortium of 14 independent liberal arts colleges, the Ripon position involves half-time teaching responsibilities for three semester courses each year: a one-semester course in the first-year studies program, a one-semester course in classical studies, each of which may focus on the fellow’s field(s) of interest; and a one-semester course in Greek or Latin language or literature. There will be campus-based mentoring for effective teaching at a liberal arts college and support for developing a research agenda, plus consortial orientations and workshops.
