Education Teachers, Postsecondary

The Department of Classical Studies of the University of Pennsylvania invites applications for a tenure-track appointment for a specialist in ancient Greek literature and culture at the rank of Assistant Professor to begin in the 2025-26 academic year.

We seek a colleague who will contribute to our ongoing efforts to reimagine the field of Classical Studies and to make our discipline more inclusive through scholarship, teaching, and public engagement. The successful candidate will have an original and generative set of research projects, will be able to engage in productive dialogue with colleagues within and beyond the department, will be ready to teach ancient Greek at all levels, and will provide Classical Studies courses that appeal to a wide range of students. The teaching load is four courses per year, one of which is typically at the graduate level. The PhD must be completed by July 1, 2025.

We have a strong commitment to responsible and creative research, to a collaborative community, and to an interdisciplinary approach to the ancient world. As a department, we foster intellectual engagement with colleagues within and beyond the discipline of Classical Studies, as well as inside and outside the academy and across departmental boundaries here at Penn.

The successful candidate must be an excellent teacher with a commitment to pedagogy and attentive mentorship of students in all our programs. The department offers undergraduate majors and minors in three different tracks of Classical Studies as well as Ancient History, all of which provide students with the opportunity to engage deeply with the diverse ancient Greek and Roman worlds and their later receptions. We also provide undergraduate courses that may appeal to non-majors. Our new colleague will work with students in the PhD program in Greek and Latin Languages and Literatures, as well as, potentially, graduate students in cognate programs such as Ancient History, Art and Archaeology of the Mediterranean World, Comparative Literature or other Penn programs. Some of our faculty also teach and advise students in Penn’s Postbaccalaureate Program in Classical Studies. More information about all these programs can be found on our website.
