The Department of Classics and Ancient History, within the School of Philosophical and Historical Study (SOPHI) in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Sydney, is seeking scholars of proven potential and outstanding ability to fill this lectureship.

The Department of Classics and Ancient History is internationally recognised for its excellence in research and teaching in all aspects of Greco-Roman antiquity. It collaborates closely with members of the departments of Archaeology and Philosophy whose expertise lies in the ancient world.

This includes participation in the foundation in 2008 of a new Australian Centre for Classical and Near Eastern Studies on campus, in collaboration with the Australian Archaeological Institute at Athens, the Near Eastern Archaeological Foundation and others.

The successful applicant will be expected to teach broadly across all the major divisions of the department’s undergraduate curriculum - Latin, Greek, and Ancient History (which includes Mythology, Classical literature in translation, and various topics in the study of ancient culture) - and to participate in graduate teaching and supervision as appropriate. The successful candidature will also be expected to demonstrate outstanding research potential and contribute to the vibrant research culture of the department.
