Position Announcement | Associate Professor and Assistant Professor in Ancient Rome and Italy

Position Title: Associate/Assistant Professor (2 positions)
Institution Name: ICCS/Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies/Rome, Italy
Position Rank: Assistant Professor
Area of Specialty: See Description
Application Deadline: 2024-11-01 Associate Professor/Assistant Professor for 2025-2026 (2 positions), August through May; Rome, Italy.

Candidates must have good knowledge of Ancient Rome and Italy, eagerness for teaching undergraduates, and enthusiasm for participating flexibly in “The Ancient City,” the program’s core, team-taught course led by the Centro’s 2025-2026 Professor-in-Charge, Andrew Goldman, which combines archaeology, history, topography, literature, and epigraphy. They also must be eager to teach a course of their own design in either intermediate or advanced-level Greek or Latin that will appeal to the Centro’s diverse range of students. “The Ancient City” course will include up to three extended fieldtrips each semester: two of these trips will feature sites around the Bay of Naples and the third will focus on the ancient cities of Turkey. Accordingly, candidates should note their experience in those regions. Basic competence in spoken Italian is also desirable. Because full participation in off-campus excursions for “The Ancient City” course is an essential function of this position, candidates must be able to traverse various types of terrain, including steep slopes and uneven ground, for significant distances, in addition to safely leading students through public transportation systems. The Managing Committee is especially interested in candidates with established careers for appointment to advanced assistant or associate rank; they often appoint one assistant/associate professor whose interests and experience are primarily in material/visual culture and one whose interests and experience are primarily textual, and especially value candidates with teaching competence in both areas.

The Intercollegiate Center does not provide H-1B or other immigration case sponsorship. Those hired must already be legally able to work for an American organization.

Letters detailing specific qualifications, a curriculum vitae, and (separately) two letters of recommendation, should be sent electronically ONLY to: Jessica Short, Administrative and Recruiting Assistant, Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome; assist@TheCentroRome.org.

Candidates should submit all application materials to arrive on or before November 1. Virtual interviews will be scheduled for December. The Intercollegiate Center is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer and actively encourages applications from members of groups underrepresented in academia.

New Editor Needed for Ethnoarchaeology: Journal of Archaeological, Ethnographic and Experimental Studies

On August 12, 2024

In In the News, Position Announcements

CAS members and friends of the journal Ethnoarchaeology: Journal of Archaeological, Ethnographic and Experimental Studies, ask candidates to apply for a term as editor-in-chief of the journal.

The new editor would start in January 2025. There should be a backlog of about one issue. CAS members publish two issues a year, and the publisher (Taylor and Francis) has increased the page allocation, so the limit has gone from 90 to about 250 pages per issue. Submissions are international. The publisher does not provide editing support or a platform to manage the flow of manuscripts, so strong editing and document management skills are needed. As editor you have the opportunity to support emerging scholars and a diversity of approaches, and even nudge emerging directions in the field a bit. Solicitation of special issues based on conference symposia is one successful strategy.

The position description and the link for. submission of applications are available on the journal website here under “Updates”:
