Lecturer in Classics and Ancient History (A395-07O)
The Department of Classics and Ancient History seeks to appoint a
Lecturer with special expertise in the field of Ancient History, with
effect from February 2008.

The successful candidate will teach at all levels in the Department and
contribute to developing and strengthening the Department's curriculum.
Applicants should preferably have a PhD or equivalent in Roman or Greek
History. Furthermore, applicants should have a record of successful
teaching experience, and be engaged in ongoing research of excellent
quality by international standards. Applicants should outline briefly
what they can teach other than Roman and Greek History, and at what
levels. An ability to teach Latin or Greek is essential.

The Department teaches four subjects in the BA degree (Ancient History,
Classical Studies, Greek, Latin), and three in the BA (Hons.) and MA
(Ancient History, Greek, Latin). In Ancient History, courses on ancient
Rome, Greece and Egypt are offered, in a pattern which makes it
necessary to study at least two ancient cultures in order to get a BA
major and (with one ancient language) a BA (Hons.) or MA in Ancient
History. The PhD degree is offered in Ancient History, Greek and Latin.

The Department is focusing on increasing its research profile and its
graduate research enrolments.

Enquiries of an academic nature should be addressed to Dr. Marcus
Wilson, Head of the Department of Classics and Ancient History, 64-9-373
