Tenure Track position. The University of the South, commonly known as "Sewanee," invites applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level, to begin in the academic year 2002-03. Candidates with a recent Ph.D. in hand are preferred, but ABD's will be considered. The most important qualification is the proven ability to do successful teaching at all undergraduate levels in Latin, Greek, and Classical Studies; essential is the capability of contributing to the Ancient and/or Mediaeval semesters of an interdisciplinary, team-taught, course in the Humanities. The teaching load is six units each year, and the University ordinarily pays for a sabbatical every seventh year. Salary will be commensurate with experience.
The University is comprised of a graduate seminary and a highly selective, coeducational, residential liberal-arts college of 1,300 undergraduates. This appointment is to be made in the Classical Languages Department of the College, which is comprised of three fulltime faculty members. While honoring its Episcopal heritage, the College is non-sectarian in its teaching and recruiting of students and faculty, and strongly protects academic freedom. It is located on 10,000 acres on the Cumberland Plateau between Chattanooga and Nashville, Tennessee.
Screening of applicants will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
