Assistant Professor

The Department of Classics at Columbia University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professorship in Latin to begin July 1^st, 2025. The field of specialization is open, but we aim to complement the expertise of the current faculty. Late Antiquity is a particular area of interest; others include, but are not limited to, science and medicine; religion and magic; law; and material culture. Applicants should have a demonstrable record of excellence in research and teaching, and an interest in participating in all aspects of the Department's pedagogical program, including language courses, courses in translation and classical civilization, graduate courses, and Columbia's Core Curriculum. The ability to teach broadly in Latin language and literature at all levels, undergraduate and graduate, is a prerequisite. The successful applicant is expected to have the Ph.D. in hand by the time of employment and will teach four courses (2/2) per year.
