WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS - ST. LOUIS, MO
Washington University in St. Louis seeks an assistant professor of Ancient
Mediterranean Religions/Early Christianity. This position, which will
begin in August 2009, will be held jointly between the Department of
Classics and the Program in Religious Studies. While the precise area of
research specialization is open, we would be most interested in a
promising and productive scholar who is engaged in interdisciplinary study
of Christian literature (canonical and extra-canonical), history,
exegesis, or theology in the context of the religions of the ancient
Mediterranean world. Teaching duties will include courses in Greek and
Latin at all levels, as well as courses in early Christianity and in
Greco-Roman religions. The ability to teach an introductory course in the
New Testament would be particularly welcome. The teaching load is two
courses each semester. Applicants should have a Ph.D. either in Classics
or Religious Studies (in hand by time of appointment), a well-developed
research agenda for the future, and experience in the classroom. Please
submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, three letters of
recommendation, and a sample of scholarly writing to: Ancient
Mediterranean Religions Search, Religious Studies Program, Campus Box
1065, Washington University in St. Louis, One Brookings Drive, St. Louis,
MO 63130. Consideration of applicants will begin on October 25, 2008 and
continue until the position is filled; preliminary interviews will be held
at the AAR meeting in Chicago in November and the APA/AIA meetings in
Philadelphia in early January. Washington University is an affirmative
action, equal opportunity employer. Women, minority candidates and persons
with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
