- Stipendiary fellow in classical philosophy: Seymour Reader in Ancient HistoryNov 25Donnerstag, 25. November 2021 11:47
Ormond College at the University of Melbourne, in conjunction with the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies at the University of Melbourne, is seeking to appoint a stipendiary fellow in classical philosophy known as the Seymour Reader in Ancient History - a post established through a bequest by Percy and Beatrice Seymour for 'instruction in Ancient History and Philosophy'.
Criteria for appointment
According to the terms of trust 'The person appointed to the Seymour Readership ('the Reader') shall be a person suitably qualified in the ancient Greek and Latin languages and of proven ability to teach ancient Greek and Latin classical literature particularly the writings of Thucydides, Plato and Aristotle'.
The reader will contribute to the teaching at Ormond College and at the University of Melbourne, School of Historical Studies.
For the College, the Reader will teach the equivalent of a one-semester course in ethics and its application today and a weekly tutorial or forum in ancient history and philosophy. Preference will be given to candidates who also have a broader interest in moral philosophy or the application of ancient philosophy to today's ethical issues.
For the University, the Reader will teach two courses ("subjects") in the University's School of Historical and Philosophical Studies (SHAPS), one of which will be in Greek philosophy, and the other to be negotiated with the School. Capacity to teach Ancient Greek or Latin languages (preferably at the intermediate level) will be viewed favourably. They will also participate in the academic life of the School.
The Reader will also be encouraged to pursue his/her own program of research.

- Ernst von Sieglin Forschungspreis für NachwuchswissenschaftlerInnen der Klassischen ArchäologieNov 21Sonntag, 21. November 2021 11:57
Der Unternehmer und Kunstmäzen Dr. Ernst von Sieglin (1848-1927) finanzierte zwischen 1898 und 1902 mehrere Expeditionen nach Alexandria sowie Grabungen in Kos, erwarb zahlreiche ägyptische, griechische und römische Exponate für die Tübinger Universitätssammlung und förderte durch großzügige Stipendien deren wissenschaftliche Bearbeitung. An diese Tradition wollten die Nachfahren anknüpfen und stifteten 2018 erstmals den international ausgeschriebenen Ernst von Sieglin Forschungspreis für NachwuchswissenschaftlerInnen der Klassischen Archäologie.
Gefördert wird damit jährlich der Druck einer qualitativ hochwertigen Monographie aus einem zentralen Bereich der Klassischen Archäologie in der Schriftenreihe „Tübinger Archäologische Forschungen“ in Höhe von bis zu 5.000 Euro.
Die Arbeit sollte in einem gewissen Zusammenhang mit den Interessensgebieten von Ernst von Sieglin und den von ihm geförderten Projekten stehen. Diese beschränkten sich jedoch nicht nur auf Ausgrabungen in Alexandria oder Kos, sondern erstreckten sich generell auf die materielle Kultur des Mittelmeerraumes.
Bewerbungen sollten ein kurzes Anschreiben sowie das zum Druck vorgeschlagene Manuskript beinhalten und sind in elektronischer Form bis zum 10.12.2021 an das Sekretariat des Archäologischen Instituts der Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen zu senden (Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt!

- Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in Critical Classical ReceptionNov 18Donnerstag, 18. November 2021 15:04
Brown University
Department of Classics and Department of Comparative Literature
Brown University's Department of Classics and Department of Comparative Literature invite applications for a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in Critical Classical Reception. This position is to be held jointly with the Cogut Institute for the Humanities for a two-year term beginning July 1, 2022. We seek exceptional junior scholars who augment or complement the present strengths and diversity of our communities at Brown University, and who enhance our commitment to inclusive education and research.
We are particularly interested in scholars of Greek and Roman antiquity (broadly conceived) and its legacies, and who approach those legacies through a critical framework and as a means of addressing and engaging with urgent issues of modernity. We wish to foster engagements with the "classical" that challenge dominant narratives about the meaning, significance, and value of that material and of the Greco-Roman legacy at large, in both the European West and beyond. We would welcome teaching, advising and research that adopts a critical classical receptions perspective to explore topics such as ability, canonicity, democracy, disciplinary history, embodiment, gender and sexuality, ideology, identity, mobility and migration, race and ethnicity, and the nation state.
Qualifications
Applicants will have received a Ph.D. in a humanities field (including, but not limited to, Classics, Comparative Literature, Cultural and Area Studies, and Modern Languages) within the past five (5) years and from an institution other than Brown. The fellow will teach two courses each year, which will be cross-listed in the Cogut Institute's Humanities course offerings. The fellow will also be affiliated with the Cogut Institute and expected to participate in the weekly seminars and other activities of the Institute. Fellows will receive a stipend of $61,500, with an increase to $63,906 the second year, plus benefits and a research budget of $2,000 per year.
Application Instructions
All candidates should submit a letter of application, short descriptions (150-250 words) of 3-4 proposed courses, a curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references by February 11, 2022. Applicants must apply online. Applications received by that date will receive full consideration, but the search will remain open until the position is filled.
