POSITION TWO:
The 2011-2012 Amherst College Copeland Colloquium seeks four or five Fellows from varied disciplines to explore the theme of "The Future of the Humanities and the Problem of Instrumental Reason." We are seeking applications from both senior and junior scholars from the various disciplines of the humanities and humanistic social sciences. We welcome literary scholars, historians, sociologists, philosophers, legal scholars, and others whose work illuminates, directly or indirectly, the situation of the humanities under conditions where an emphasis on efficiency and effectiveness, practicality and usefulness, and activity and applicability seem to have rendered extraneous many of the basic commitments of the humanities disciplines. We are especially interested in projects that advance new visions of the humanities, exemplify re-imagined roles for humanistic scholarship, and as such imply responses to the question of the humanities' future. We want to use various kinds of humanities scholarship to explore such questions as: What, exactly, do we mean by the humanities? What is the role and mission of the humanities in our era? What set or sets of historical forces permitted it come into being and to maintain itself at various moments and under different conditions?  In what terms has the question of the "the future of the humanities" been posed in the past? How has the question of the future of the humanities changed today, under the pressure of instrumentality and for reasons as different as the emergence of the digital humanities, the mapping of the human genome, and the ongoing economic crisis? Fellowships range from $30,000-$50,000, depending on rank and include a $2,500 allowance for professional travel and research support and additional support for moving expenses. Fellows are expected to be in residence from September to June. Fellows will have the opportunity to participate in workshops and conferences organized to explore the theme of the Colloquium. Interested individuals should send a CV, statement of purpose describing their research interests and how they speak to the theme of the Colloquium, writing sample, and three letters of recommendation to Austin Sarat, Department of Law, Jurisprudence, Amherst College, Amherst, MA, 01002, by March 15, 2011.

The American Philological Association invites applications for a one-year Fellowship, tenable from July 2011 through June 2012, which will enable an American scholar to participate in the work of the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae Institute in Munich. Fellows at the TLL develop a broadened perspective of the range and complexity of the Latin language and culture from the classical period through the early Middle Ages, contribute signed articles to the Thesaurus, have the opportunity to participate in a collaborative international research project in a collegial environment, and work with senior scholars in the field of Latin lexicography. The Fellowship carries a stipend in the amount of $50,400, and is made possible in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Applicants must (i) be United States citizens or permanent residents and (ii) already have the Ph.D. or anticipate the award of the degree by July 1, 2011. The opportunity to be trained in lexicography and contribute articles to be published in the lexicon may be of special interest to scholars who are already established in tenure-track positions, as well as those who are just entering the profession. The Fellowship offers valuable experience for scholars in a variety of specialties (e.g., Latin language and literature, Roman law, Roman history, the literature of early Christianity); although it is not limited to individuals working in Latin philology, applicants should possess a thorough familiarity with and a special interest in the Latin language, as well as advanced competence in Greek. It is anticipated that applicants will already have a reading knowledge of German and will be willing to work toward proficiency in spoken German. Women and members of minority groups underrepresented in Classics are particularly encouraged to apply.

Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a statement of what benefits the applicant expects to derive from the Fellowship for his/her research and teaching, and the names of three referees, whom the applicant should ask to send supporting letters to the Executive Director of the American Philological Association without further notice. It will be in the candidate’s interest if at least one letter can specifically address the candidate’s suitability for the Fellowship. Candidates will be considered by the APA’s TLL Fellowship Committee, which serves as the selection committee. The committee will choose a short-list of candidates to be invited for interview at the Annual Meeting in January 2011 in San Antonio, Texas, and the name of the successful candidate will be announced shortly thereafter.

ORMOND COLLEGE – UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE – VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA

Seymour Reader Ancient History & Philosophy

Ormond, a College at the University of Melbourne, is seeking to appoint a stipendiary fellow in classical philosophy known as the Seymour Reader in Ancient History – a post established through a bequest by Percy and Beatrice Seymour for ‘instruction in Ancient History and Philosophy’. The reader will also be a member of the University’s  School of Historical and Philosophical Studies.

The Reader will teach courses in Greek Philosophy and in ancient languages (Greek or Latin) in the University’s School of Historical and Philosophical Studies, and help establish and teach a program on the history of ideas of justice beginning with ideas from the classical world for Ormond students. The Reader will also be encouraged to pursue his/her own program of research

Ormond College is a College within the University of Melbourne that has resident and non-resident students undertaking the University’s full range of undergraduate and graduate degrees. Currently it has 350 members. The College has traditionally provided tutorials and academic support for the courses that students are undertaking on campus as well as vibrant student community life and pastoral support. The College is also home to 20 senior academic staff of the University who support its learning programs.

The College has committed to increasing its role in students’ learning to deepen the work they are undertaking on campus and to expand their learning experiences. The Seymour Reader will contribute the development and delivery of some of that expanded learning program. Central to that expanded experience is to deliver, in the context of the University today, the vision of the College’s founder and benefactor, Francis Ormond. In 1881 he set out a vision of an institution committed to the education and formation of students as that would “exercise an important and sensible influence … on the affairs of our country”. Today, we talk about Ormond’s mission as preparing people to make a disproportionate difference in the world.

History: Percy Seymour &Seymour Readership

The Seymour Readership was established to expand the knowledge and appreciation of classical studies and create significant awareness of the benefits of both Greek and Latin literature and a classical education. Seymour himself was an exemplary classical scholar, born in Australia and educated at Ormond College, graduating in 1910 in classics. He then obtained a scholarship to study at Jesus College, Oxford and obtained a first-class degree in Literae Humaniores, then returned to Australia to lecture at Queensland University until 1921. He then returned to Oxford, becoming a Fellow of Jesus College in 1924 (a position he held until 1943). In addition to his teaching duties in ancient history, he also served as the College's bursar from 1930 to 1935, helping to strengthen the College's financial position in difficult financial conditions. Seymour then resigned his fellowship and become Vice-Master of Ormond College in 1949 (after teaching at the Royal Grammar School, High Wycombe for a while) and helped raise an endowment fund for the College. He died in Florence in 1954.

The Readership has seen the appointment of a number of exemplary candidates, after the model of this significant scholar and philanthropist, with the last readership concluding in 1994 with Dr Robin Jackson, who is currently the Chief Executive and Secretary of the British National Academy for the Humanities and Social Sciences. The readership was in abeyance for a period while the terms were altered to enable appointments to be made of either gender and to remove the requirement of residency within the College.

Key Responsibilities

Within the College the Reader will be responsible for:

• Developing and delivering a course on the history of the idea of justice beginning with ideas of justice in the classical world. It is currently envisaged that this would be an intensive one week residential program based around classic texts on justice that would be undertaken in groups of approximately 20 by the College 100 second year students.

• Delivering two lectures or seminars within the College ‘relating to some ancient classical text preferably Greek that is relevant to spreading of a sound knowledge and appreciation of ancient life’

• Undertaking their own program of research

• Contributing to strategic discussion and work on the overall direction of the College’s learning program.

• Participating in the College’s provision pastoral support to students.

Within the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies the Reader will be responsible for:

• Providing two courses a year, one in Greek Philosophy and one in an ancient language (Greek or Latin). The details of the courses are to be agreed between the Reader and the School.

• Supervising a number of Research Students from the School

Other requirements

The Reader is not required to live in Ormond, although the College would warmly welcome the Reader to do so (accommodation costs would be negotiated and separate from the stipend). The Reader is expected to dine in the College at least twice a week, attend the four major College dinners of the year, and generally interact with students and members of the Senior Common Room in informal and formal forums. A Reader who does not live in the College will be provided with office space when they are working in the College. The Reader is also required to present a seminar on their work each year.

Term of appointment

Three years, preferably beginning in 1 February 2011, but subject to negotiation.

Stipend

The Reader has a package including salary and superannuation in the range of ~A$110,000.

Criteria for appointment

According to the terms of trust ‘The person appointed to the Seymour Readership (‘the Reader’) shall be a person suitably qualified in the ancient Greek and Latin languages and of proven ability to teach ancient Greek and Latin classical literature particularly the writings of Thucydides, Plato and Aristotle’. The Reader will need to demonstrate the experience and aptitudes required to fulfill the duties of the post and explain their vision for engaging all students around the importance of knowledge of the classic world.

Appointment process:

The appointment will be made by a panel comprising representatives of the College and the University. Applications should address the criteria for appointment and be addressed to the Master, Ormond College, email: rufus.black@ormond.unimelb.edu.au with Seymour Readership as the subject or via mail: 49 College Crescent Parkville Victoria 3052 Australia.

Rhodes offers extensive opportunities and resources to engage in research with highly-motivated students.  We therefore seek a scholar who is eager to engage undergraduates with the most significant questions driving his/her own research.
 
Candidates should have a record of publication appropriate for a tenured appointment and should also demonstrate a commitment to innovative and dynamic undergraduate teaching. In addition to a remuneration package commensurate with a tenured, endowed Chair appointment, this position offers funding to support research and scholarly activities.
