The Department of Classics at the University of Toronto is soliciting
applications for a tenure-stream position at the rank of Assistant
Professor, to be filled by a specialist in Latin poetry with expertise
in republican Latin literature and/or Roman drama. The successful
applicant will have demonstrated potential for excellence in research
and teaching, and will be expected to contribute to a growing and
research-intensive doctoral programme and to a thriving undergraduate
programme in Latin, Greek, and Classical Civilization; an ability to
teach Latin and Greek literature at all levels is required. The
department welcomes a wide range of methods and innovative approaches to
the study of literature and is particularly interested in candidates who
combine a thorough training in Classics with an interest in other
disciplines in the humanities or social sciences. The Department of
Classics cooperates closely with the graduate Drama Centre, the Centre
for Comparative Literature, the Centre for Medieval Studies, the Women
and Gender Studies Institute, and the Departments of Art, Near and
Middle Eastern Civilizations, and Philosophy, among others.
The appointment will begin 1 July 2009; an appropriate doctoral degree
must have been earned by that date. Salary will be commensurate with
qualifications and experience.
Applications should include: a curriculum vitae, a sample of academic
writing, evidence of excellence in teaching, and a short description of
the applicant’s current research plans. Applicants should also arrange
to have three letters of recommendation sent to: Latin Poetry Search
Committee, Department of Classics, University of Toronto, 125 Queen’s
Park, Toronto, Ontario, M5S 2C7, CANADA.
To ensure full consideration, the application and all supporting
documentation should be received by November 1, 2008.
The University of Toronto is strongly committed to diversity within its
community. The University especially welcomes applications from visible
minority group members, women, Aboriginal persons, persons with
disabilities, members of sexual minority groups and others who may
contribute to the further diversification of ideas. All qualified
candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent
residents will be given priority.
Any enquiries about the application should be sent to
