Preference will be given to a candidate with experience in Classical and Late Antiquity archaeology. No specific sub-regional specialization will be preferred, but the applicant is expected to be familiar with the maritime heritage of the Israeli coast and, naturally, be willing to carry out the majority of his or her research there. The successful applicant must have his/her   Ph. D. by the time they assume the position. 
Please send CV with list of publications, list of grants and fellowships awarded, samples of written and published work, experience in underwater research, teaching and supervising graduate students (if any) and the names and addresses of at least three referees to the Search Committee by August 1, 2004.
