Washington University in St. Louis seeks an assistant professor of Ancient Mediterranean Religions/Early Christianity.
This position, which will begin in August 2009, will be held jointly
between the Department of Classics and the Program in Religious
Studies. While the precise area of research specialization is open, we
would be most interested in a promising and productive scholar who is
engaged in interdisciplinary study of Christian literature (canonical
and extra-canonical), history, exegesis, or theology in the context of
the religions of the ancient Mediterranean world. Teaching duties will
include courses in Greek and Latin at all levels, as well as courses in
early Christianity and in Greco-Roman religions. The ability to teach
an introductory course in the New Testament would be particularly
welcome. The teaching load is two courses each semester. Applicants
should have a Ph.D. either in Classics or Religious Studies (in hand by
time of appointment), a well-developed research agenda for the future,
and experience in the classroom. Please submit a letter of application,
curriculum vitae, three letters of recommendation, and a sample of
scholarly writing to: Ancient Mediterranean Religions Search, Religious
Studies Program, Campus Box 1065, Washington University in St. Louis,
One Brookings Drive, St. Louis, MO 63130. Consideration of applicants
will begin on October 25, 2008 and continue until the position
is filled; preliminary interviews will be held at the AAR meeting in
Chicago in November and the APA/AIA meetings in Philadelphia in early
January. Washington University is an affirmative action, equal
opportunity employer. Women, minority candidates and persons with
disabilities are encouraged to apply. |
