The Department of Classics at the University of Toronto is soliciting applications for a tenure-stream position at the rank of Assistant Professor, to be filled by a Greek Historian with expertise in material culture (e.g., sites, artifacts, archaeology, epigraphy, papyrology). The successful applicant will have demonstrated excellence in research and teaching, and will be expected to contribute to a growing and research-intensive doctoral programme (which includes a flourishing collaborative program in ancient history) and to a thriving undergraduate programme in Greek, Latin, and Classical Civilization; an ability to teach Greek prose authors at all levels is required. The department welcomes a wide range of methods and innovative approaches in the study of history and is particularly interested in candidates who combine a thorough training in Classics with an interest in other disciplines in the humanities or social sciences. The Department of Classics cooperates closely with the departments of Art History, Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations, and Anthropology, among others.
The appointment will begin July 1, 2008; an appropriate doctoral degree must have been earned by that date. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Applications should include: a curriculum vitae, a sample of academic writing, evidence of excellence in teaching, and a short description of the applicant's current research plans. Applicants should also arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent to: Greek History Search Committee, Dept. of Classics, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada M5S 1A1.
To ensure full consideration, the application and all supporting documentation should be received by November 1, 2007.
