The course load is 3:3, and teaching duties will include introductory and intermediate Latin and Greek and classical studies courses in translation in the candidate's area of expertise (see our course list for examples). The VAP will be provided with an office, a computer, moving expenses up to $1000, and access to funds for conference attendance. The Ph.D. is required by June 30, 2026. Applicants should apply with a letter of application, a curriculum vitae, and a representative writing sample (c. 25 pages). During the search process, applicants will be prompted by the system to provide contact information for three references. The system will then request letters of recommendation from your references. The search committee will commence its initial screening of applications on April 17, 2026. We will interview select candidates via Zoom, but the search will remain active until the position is filled.
