TEMPLE UNIVERSITY - PHILADELPHIA, PA
1) Temple University announces a Visiting Assistant Professorship for 2004-2005 in the Department of Greek, Hebrew and Roman Classics. This position has the possibility of renewal, pending satisfactory performance. The ideal candidates would be teachers who could bring their scholarship to the classroom with enthusiasm and skill; evidence of successful teaching experience is vital. Candidates should send ONLY a cover letter, preferably by e-mail, with curriculum vitae (as an attachment) indicating ability and experience for teaching Greek, Latin and classical culture courses at all undergraduate levels, and in the Intellectual Heritage program, a two-semester sequence required of all Temple undergraduates. The first semester of IH contains a large Greek component and the course is writing-intensive. Applicants should consult the IH web site http://courses.temple.edu/IH. Candidates should only send dossiers if requested. Candidates who applied earlier to Temple's tenure-track position need only send a note to re-activate their files. Applications will be accepted until any available position is filled. Address applications to Classics Chair Robin Mitchell-Boyask, robin@temple.edu, Department of Greek, Hebrew and Roman Classics, 321 Anderson Hall, 1114 W. Berks St., Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, 19122. Phone: (215) 204-3672.
2) The College of Liberal Arts at Temple University is devoting significant resources to building the faculty across the social sciences and humanities: we seek scholars of the highest caliber to join our community. The Department of Greek, Hebrew and Roman Classics invites candidates for a junior tenure-track position in Classics, starting in 2004-5. The area of specialization is open, but the greatest need is for someone working in Roman social history, broadly conceived. Candidates should demonstrate a strong commitment to undergraduate and interdisciplinary teaching in a liberal arts context, broad and innovative intellectual interests, outstanding scholarly abilities and a well-articulated plan for sustained research. The successful candidate will be able to teach Greek and Latin at all levels as well as courses in classical civilization both for majors and for students completely unfamiliar with classical antiquity. An ability to support Temple's program in Intellectual Heritage (http://courses.temple.edu/IH) will be considered an asset. Further information about the Temple Classics program can be found at http://www.temple.edu/classics.
Interviews will be conducted on campus during the fall. Candidates should send applications, including full dossiers, by 1 October 2003 to Robin Mitchell-Boyask, Chair, Department of Greek, Hebrew and Roman Classics, 321 Anderson Hall, 1114 W. Berks St., Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, 19122. Phone: (215) 204-3672. e-mail robin@temple.edu. Informal questions by e-mail are welcome.
