The Classics Program at the University of California, Davis invites applications for a 88-100% Federation faculty position beginning Fall 2025 and envisioned as an ongoing role contingent on performance review and continued budgetary support. The successful candidate will take on primary responsibility for introductory Latin instruction (first year sequence). Applicants must demonstrate excellence in teaching Greek and Latin at the undergraduate level and the ability to contribute actively to the curricular goals of a small but vibrant department. We particularly welcome candidates with demonstrated interest in improving access to the study of Greek and Latin for marginalized students and who bring passion and creativity to the teaching of elementary Greek and Latin.
2. Ancient Mediterranean History and Culture
The Classics Program at the University of California, Davis invites applications for a full time (100%) Federation faculty position beginning Fall 2025 and envisioned as an ongoing role contingent on performance review and continued budgetary support. The successful candidate will teach a variety of large lower-division lectures and smaller advanced courses on various topics in Ancient Mediterranean culture and history and may occasionally be asked to take on some teaching of introductory Latin. Applicants must demonstrate excellence in teaching at the undergraduate level and the ability to contribute actively to the curricular goals of a small but vibrant department. We are particularly interested in candidates whose teaching reorients traditional disciplinary boundaries, for instance by engaging with cross-cultural encounters within the Ancient Mediterranean world as well as those with a demonstrated interest in improving access to the study of the Ancient Mediterranean for marginalized students.
For both positions: Ph.D. in Classics or related field strongly preferred.
