Joseph Chair in Classics, an endowed visiting professorship that brings accomplished scholars to Athens, Greece, to teach and pursue original research in Classics and related fields. The appointment is for a period of up to three (3) years, beginning September 1, 2026. Established through the generosity of a CYA benefactor, the Chair honors Brian D. Joseph (CYA ’72), an eminent linguist whose groundbreaking work in Greek and Balkan linguistics has shaped the field of historical linguistics.
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. and a permanent university position in Classics or related fields (Ancient History, Archaeology and Art, Philology). They should demonstrate an active research profile with a record of scholarly publications, as well as substantial experience in undergraduate teaching. A strong interest in experiential, site-based learning will be considered an asset.
