Candidates must have good knowledge of Ancient Rome and Italy, eagerness for teaching undergraduates, and enthusiasm for participating flexibly in “The Ancient City,” the program’s core, team-taught course led by the Centro’s 2027-2028 Professor-in-Charge, Amy Russell, which combines archaeology, history, topography, literature, and epigraphy. They also must be eager to teach a course of their own design in either intermediate or advanced-level Greek or Latin that will appeal to the Centro’s diverse range of students. “The Ancient City” course will likely include three extended fieldtrips each semester: two of these trips will feature sites around the Bay of Naples and the third will focus on the ancient sites of Sicily. Accordingly, candidates should note their experience (if any) in those regions. Basic competence in spoken Italian is desirable but not required. Because full participation in off-campus excursions for “The Ancient City” course is an essential function of this position, candidates must be able to traverse various types of terrain, including steep slopes and uneven ground, for significant distances, in addition to safely leading students through public transportation systems. The Managing Committee is especially interested in candidates with established careers for appointment to advanced assistant or associate rank; we often appoint one assistant/associate professor whose interests and experience are primarily in material/visual culture and one whose interests and experience are primarily textual, and we especially value candidates with teaching competence in both areas.

The Intercollegiate Center does not provide H-1B or other immigration case sponsorship. Those hired must already be legally able to work for an American organization.
