UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI - CINCINNATI, OH
POSITION ONE: Margo Tytus Visiting Scholars Program. The University of Cincinnati Classics Department is pleased to announce the Margo Tytus Visiting Scholars Program. Tytus Fellows, in the fields of philology, history and archaeology, who will ordinarily be at least 5 years beyond receipt of the Ph.D., will come to Cincinnati for a minimum of one month and a maximum of nine during the regular academic year (October 1 to May 30). Tytus Fellows will receive a monthly stipend of $1000 plus housing and a travel allowance. They will also receive office space and enjoy the use of the University of Cincinnati and Hebrew Union College Libraries. While at Cincinnati Tytus Fellows will be free to pursue their own research.
The University of Cincinnati Burnham Classics Library is one of the world's premier collections in the field of Classical Studies. Comprising 165,000 volumes, the library covers all aspects of the Classics: the languages and literatures, history, civilization, art, and archaeology. Of special value for scholars is both the richness of the collection and its accessibility -- almost any avenue of research in the classics can be pursued deeply and broadly under a single roof. The unusually comprehensive core collection, which is maintained by three professional classicist librarians, is augmented by several special collections such as 15,000 nineteenth century German Programschriften, extensive holdings in Palaeography, Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies. At neighboring Hebrew Union College, the Klau Library, with holdings in excess of 400,000 volumes, is rich in Judaica and Near Eastern Studies.
