The Department of Classics invites applications for a Dean’s Postdoctoral Scholar Fellow in Classics beginning August 2025. The department seeks a candidate with expertise in Greek art and archaeology of the classical and Hellenistic periods. Interests that complement those of existing faculty are particularly welcome. The successful candidate will bring a theoretically informed, broadly comparative perspective to the classroom, and will be expected to contribute to the department's General Education curriculum by teaching a survey course in world archaeology.

The teaching load is two courses per semester and will include courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The scholar is expected to carry out an active research program and to contribute to the intellectual life of the department, with the opportunity to co-organize a workshop, colloquium, or similar event during the tenure of the fellowship.

A PhD from an accredited institution in an appropriate field of specialization is required. Eligibility is limited to individuals who have received the PhD within five years prior to the start of the appointment.

Initial appointment is for one year with renewal for a second upon satisfactory performance of assigned duties.
