The Department of Classics seeks applications for a post-doctoral fellowship in classical reception studies for a tenure of two academic years: 2009-2010 and 2010-2011. We are looking for a scholar who specializes in the reception of classical antiquity in Africa, Asia, or Latin America. The candidate would be expected to be competent in Greek or Latin as well as the languages necessary to his or her specific research.

Postdoctoral fellows will teach one course per semester, and participate as well in the many activities of the Cogut Center.
