Job Description:

The Classics Department at Colby College has been authorized to offer a one-year position at the Visiting Assistant Professor level, beginning fall 2025. We invite applications from candidates capable of teaching with distinction courses in ancient Greek and/or Latin at all undergraduate levels, as well as courses on material culture: art, architecture, archaeology, etc. Research specialization is open. Interdisciplinary approaches that expand the traditional boundaries of Classics or explore contacts between Greece/Rome and other cultures of the ancient world are particularly welcome. The search committee is especially interested in candidates who, through their research, teaching, advising, and/or service, will contribute to the diversity and excellence of the campus community, and have a record of success mentoring individuals from groups under-represented in higher education.

The teaching load is 5 courses per year. Ph.D. by date of appointment is strongly preferred.

  • a curriculum vitae

  • a statement of teaching philosophy that demonstrates a commitment to equitable and inclusive teaching

  • a complete set of evaluations from at least one course

  • contact information (names, email addresses) for three references (letters of recommendation will be solicited later in the process).

N.B. Initial interviews will be conducted remotely in February. Applications received by January 15 will receive full consideration but review will continue until the position is filled. Address all inquiries to Kerill O'Neill, Search Committee Chair (knoneill@colby.edu).
