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.
