Applicants should have a specialization in the general area of the history and culture of the eastern Mediterranean in the Hellenistic and/or Roman period(s).

The file name of all email attachments should begin with the applicant’s surname. In addition to a description of research interests, applicants should suggest what courses they would envision teaching both in Classical Studies and in Jewish Studies (whether or not such courses are now listed in our catalogue).
