Description du poste

The Department of Classics at Carleton College invites applicants for a tenure-track position in classical philology to begin in the fall of 2027. We seek a dynamic teacher-scholar who can teach Latin and Greek at all levels and is passionate about working in a liberal arts setting. The position will involve teaching in both of our four-course language sequences as well as upper-level Greek and Latin and in-translation courses on literature and culture. Carleton operates on a trimester calendar, with tenure-track positions teaching the equivalent of five courses across three ten-week terms. We are particularly interested in candidates committed to teaching students from a wide variety of backgrounds.

Candidates should have a Ph.D. in hand by the time of appointment. Within the broad field of classical philology, the area of specialization is open, but we are especially interested in someone with research and teaching interests that will bolster our course offerings and contribute to the department’s teaching of literary analysis both for majors and non-majors.
