Offer Description

Type of teaching commitment:

The successful candidate shall carry out their teaching duties, in accordance with the University Regulations governing the teaching and institutional responsibilities of professors and researchers, within the Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes offered by the Department, and in particular within the degree programmes in Literature, Archaeology and Ancient Cultures, and History and Philosophy. Additional teaching activities may be required within the framework of PhD programmes, Master's programmes, workshops, and postgraduate specialisation schools.

Type of research commitment:

The successful candidate shall investigate the complex cultural contexts of the peoples of the ancient Mediterranean, with particular reference to the Greek and Roman worlds. Specifically, they shall study, also through methodological reflection, the significance and historical development of landscapes, rural settlements, cities, architecture, artistic and visual culture, everyday objects, as well as the productive, economic, and cultural processes that generated and reflected the material realities of ancient societies. Particular attention shall also be devoted to environmental contexts in order to understand patterns of interaction with, use of, and exploitation of natural resources.

The chronological scope of the research extends from the emergence of writing in the Mediterranean basin to the beginning of the Medieval period. The geographical scope encompasses the Mediterranean regions affected by the mobility processes of the Greek world, the areas included within the Hellenistic koiné, and the territories that formed part of the Roman Empire at its greatest territorial extent, together with neighbouring regions connected through relations and exchanges.

Classical Archaeology develops, evaluates, and employs research methods that are largely common to other archaeological disciplines. It therefore shares with them the ultimate objective of the historical reconstruction of the past, as well as epistemological foundations, analytical tools, and a broad range of methodologies, foremost among which is stratigraphic excavation.

The successful candidate shall also demonstrate their scientific qualifications through: participation in and/or leadership of national and international research groups; the organisation of national and international conferences; and publication in leading national and international peer-reviewed journals (including journals classified as Class A under the Italian academic evaluation system).
