Generalist @ Binghamton College (tenure track)
Beginning August 2007, tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of
Classical and Near Eastern Studies, Program in Classical Studies. We seek a
broadly trained classicist literary scholar, specialization open, PhD in
hand, to teach ancient Greek and Latin language and literature, all levels,
and ancient Greek, Roman, and Mediterranean civilization and culture,
including courses in the successful candidate's area of specialization.
Interests complementing and augmenting existing Program strengths are
desirable. Especially desirable: interdisciplinary foci, methodologies
combining the innovative with the traditional, approaches incorporating
material culture into literary study. Candidates must supply evidence of
scholarly achievement and promise; that means a concrete, pragmatic plan for
publication. The successful candidate will provide inspiring, effective
instruction in the ancient languages and literatures, and will teach culture
and civilization courses serving the needs of both University and Program.
We welcome ideas for offerings meeting the University's General Education
requirements, for instance, in Global Interdependencies (Western-non-Western
interactions). Send a letter of application, CV, and names and addresses of
three recommenders to: Andrew Scholtz, Chair, Classics Search Committee,
