Applications are invited for a Chair of Ancient History in the University of Manchester.

The successful applicant will have an established international reputation in any field of ancient Roman and/or Greek history. The appointee will take a lead in developing the excellent teaching and research profile of Classics and Ancient History, and will play a full part in the intellectual, managerial, and developmental activities of the new School of Arts, Histories and Cultures.

Classics and Ancient History at Manchester (ClAH) boasts a young and vibrant community of scholars and students, supporting a wide range of teaching and research interests across the ancient world. Teaching and research in history, language, and literature are fully integrated in ClAH, and are complemented by strong links with colleagues with Classical interests elsewhere in the Faculty, the John Rylands University Library of Manchester, and the Manchester Museum. Of particular importance is the role of ancient historians in the diachronic study of history in the University. The appointee will complement and enhance existing teaching and research strengths in ancient history. There is a particular need for academic leadership in Roman history, but Greek historians also are encouraged to apply.

Salary by negotiation.
