The Department of Classics at The University of Texas at Austin invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor to begin Fall of academic year 2025-26. We seek a colleague with research expertise that complements the department's current strengths, particularly in the areas of global antiquities, comparative approaches to classics, or classical reception. In addition to actively researching and publishing, responsibilities include providing administrative and committee service to the department, directing undergraduate honors theses and eventually PhD dissertations, teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in classics, and may include contributing to the world literature sequence offered as part of UT Austin's Plan II Honors Program.

Applicants must hold a PhD at the beginning of the appointment. Preferred qualifications include demonstrated evidence of significant promise in research, teaching, and service.

Applicants must upload a letter of interest and a curriculum vitae. Following initial review the hiring committee will select a subset of applicants for further review who will be asked to provide three letters of recommendation, a writing sample, and a teaching portfolio. Guidelines for the writing sample and teaching portfolio will be provided later in the process.

The deadline to apply is October 15, 2024.

Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience and qualifications. Position funding is subject to budget availability.
