The Department of Classics at Columbia University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professorship in Latin to begin July 1st, 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. 

Applications submitted by November 22nd will receive full consideration. All applications must be made through Columbia University’s online Academic Search and Recruitment System (ASR). Please upload the following required materials into ASR: a cover letter that explains their interest in and qualifications for the position; a curriculum vitae; a writing sample of no more than 20 pages; a research statement; a statement of teaching philosophy; and contact information for three reference providers who may be asked to provide letters at a later date.
