The successful candidate will be required to teach Greek History and Greek Literature in the Greek and Roman Civilisation degree courses, and Greek and Latin in the language degree programmes. An interest in teaching Ancient Greek at the annual international Summer School (July-August: for details see http://www.ucc.ie/acad/classics/ and click on Summer School) would be an advantage. (In the event of taking on Summer School teaching, provision for research will be made by a block of time free from teaching in one of the two normal teaching periods). An ability to teach Modern Greek would be advantageous.

Candidates should have a first degree in Greek and Latin and should have recently obtained or be about to obtain a PhD in some area of Greek studies. Prior experience of teaching Greek to beginners is highly desirable. Prior experience of lecturing in some area of Greek Civilisation would be an asset.
