Tenure-track Assistant Professor of Classics

The Classics Department at Colby College has been authorized to offer a Tenure-Track position at the Assistant Professor level, beginning Fall 2026. We invite applications from candidates capable of teaching with distinction courses in ancient Greek and/or Latin at all undergraduate levels, as well as courses on material culture: art, architecture, archaeology, etc. Research specialization is open. Interdisciplinary approaches that expand the traditional boundaries of Classics or explore contacts between Greece/Rome and other cultures of the ancient world are particularly welcome.

The search committee is especially interested in candidates who, through their research, teaching, advising, and/or service, will contribute to the access, opportunity, and inclusion of the campus community, and have a record of success mentoring students who come from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences.

The teaching load is 4.5 courses per year (i.e., alternating between 4 and 5 courses from year to year).

Ph.D. by date of appointment is strongly preferred.
