Assistant Professor of Archaeology of the Ancient Greek World, Brown University

Brown University’s Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World and the Department of Classics invite applications for an Assistant Professor of Archaeology of the Ancient Greek World.

Preference will be given to candidates whose primary focus is the archaeology of Classical Greece, but candidates will also be considered with expertise in Iron Age, Archaic, Hellenistic, Late Antique, or Byzantine Greek archaeology. The capacity to teach in both the Archaeology of the Ancient World and Classics programs is a requisite of this position, as is an active program in field, laboratory, or museum research in the broader Greek world. We seek exceptional junior scholars who augment or complement the present strengths and diversity of our community at Brown University, and who enhance our commitment to inclusive education and research.  Qualified applicants will hold a Ph.D. by the time of their appointment (July 1, 2025).

Applications are welcome from candidates who have demonstrated a capacity for innovative research and cross-disciplinary thinking in the archaeology of the ancient Greek World. Candidates must have an outstanding record of scholarly achievement, as well as a proven record of publication and service commensurate with their career stage. Excellence in, and commitment to, undergraduate and graduate teaching are essential. We particularly value active involvement and leading roles in ongoing fieldwork projects. 

Application Instructions

All candidates should submit a letter of application, a statement (150-300 words) of their experience and/or ideas for prioritizing diversity and inclusion in their teaching and research, and a curriculum vitae by October 1, 2024.  Applicants should provide the names of three referees with up-to-date contact information (including email); referees will be contacted directly by the Search Committee. The Search Committee may also contact candidates to request additional materials, such as course descriptions or writing samples. Applications received by October 1, 2024 will receive full consideration, but the search will remain open until the position is closed or filled.

Please submit application materials online at apply.interfolio.com/152582.  There is no need to provide hard copies of application materials for those that have already been submitted electronically.
