Hi all,
A job opening that might be of interest...


UNION COLLEGE - SCHENECTADY, NEW YORK

The Department of Classics at Union College seeks to appoint a classicist
for a one-year visiting appointment at the rank of instructor or
assistant professor. This is a one-year sabbatical replacement that will
begin in September 2009. The area of specialization is open, but we look
for evidence of successful beginning language instruction as well as an
area of research that could serve as the basis for interdisciplinary
contributions to the curriculum more widely (examples include, but are
not limited to, ancient technology, art, archaeology, science, women's
studies, religion). Union employs a trimester system, and the normal
teaching load is two courses per term. Teaching competencies must include
ancient Greek and Latin at all undergraduate levels as well as general
courses in translation. For higher rank and salary, the Ph.D. must be in
hand by August 2009. Visiting faculty are eligible for travel and
research support, and our salaries are competitive. Further information
about Union College may be found at http://www.union.edu. Applicants
should send a standard dossier, including cover letter, writing sample,
c.v., and three letters of recommendation. The committee will interview
selected applicants either by phone or at the annual meeting of the
Classical Association of the Middle West and South in Minneapolis, MN.
Applicants should indicate whether or not they plan to attend this
meeting, and how they may be contacted most easily. Applications should
be directed to the attention of Hans-Friedrich Mueller, Department of
Classics, Union College, Schenectady, New York, 12308. Inquiries are
welcome at muellerh at union.edu. Review of applications will begin on March
16, 2009, and will continue until the position is filled. Union College
is an equal opportunity employer, and is strongly committed to increasing
the diversity of its workforce.
