The University of Mannheim in Germany has now advertised the Chair of Ancient History (Kai Brodersen is moving to the University of Erfurt). This is the only Chair of Ancient History at Mannheim (where neither classics nor archaeology are established); there are also two chairs (plus a professorship) in Modern, and one each in Medieval and in Economic History. The Ancient History unit at Mannheim consists of the chair plus two temporary posts.
The University is looking for an established scholar able and willing to "represent the field in its whole breadth". The Chair is involved in teaching courses in cultural and social history on all levels (9 hours per week are obligatory and emphatically cannot be "bought out"), and the incumbent is "expected to be willing to cooperate across historical and disciplinary boundaries". The legal requirements for an application are a PhD, a "Habilitation" or equivalent achievement, a proven ability to teach (in German); add a willingness to do admin (also in German).
Women are encouraged to apply. The university expects tthat one moves to Mannheim or the surrounding region soon.
The Salary is in the (highest German) category of W3 (from December 2008, this will be 5064,31 Euro pcm plus benefits).
