Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, NY (Two Positions)
POSITION ONE: Blegen Fellow Position, 2003-04. Vassar College Department of Classics invites applications for a one year Blegen Research Fellowship in 2003-04, for a scholar to develop or bring to fruition a major project in a specified area of research. The Fellowship is for someone who has taught full-time at a college/university for at least three years and holds the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor (or equivalent). We invite applications from scholars involved in the study of late antiquity, including any aspect of late antiquity in connection with any geographical region. We would be especially pleased to appoint a candidate whose research and expertise span both Greek and Roman culture.
The Fellow teaches two courses. One, of the Fellow's own devising, is a seminar at the advanced level taught in English translation and related to the Fellow's research interests, but of general interest to the whole student body. The other course is selected by the department from our curriculum and may involve teaching of Greek or Latin at the intermediate/advanced level or may be a lecture course. Stipend appropriate to experience, plus benefits, and the use, without cost, of a furnished two bedroom apartment (including utilities).
