AMERICAN PHILOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION/THESAURUS LINGUAE LATINAE
Supported by a Generous Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities

The American Philological Association invites applications for a one-year Fellowship, tenable from July 2009 through June 2010, 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, and work with senior scholars in the field of Latin lexicography. The Fellowship carries a stipend in the amount of $50,400 (please note the new, increased, amount of this stipend) and is made possible in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The incumbent Fellow may re-apply for a second year, but all applications will be judged on an equal footing.

Applicants must:

  1. be United States citizens or permanent residents
  2. already have the Ph.D. or anticipate the award of the degree by July 1, 2009.

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 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 2009 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the name of the successful candidate will be announced shortly thereafter. Applications must be received by the deadline of Monday, November 17, 2008.

Applications should be sent to: Dr. Adam D. Blistein, Executive Director, American Philological Association, 292 Logan Hall, University of Pennsylvania, 249 S. 36th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6304.

TULANE UNIVERSITY – NEW ORLEANS, LA (Two Positions)
Tulane University placed two ads in the October 2008 issue. The first position was originally listed as a tenure-track opening, but due to recent (January 2009) budgetary restrictions, Tulane is now forced to restructure the opening as a one-year Visiting Assistant Professorship.

The second position listing is for a Visiting Assistant Professor/Roman Studies. In the ad, Tulane mentions that the review of applications for this VAP position would commence in February, 2009. Because of the state of the economy, Tulane has requested that they be permitted to begin reviewing applications for this position now (January 2009) as opposed to waiting until February 2009 as stated in the ad, as they would rather make an appointment sooner rather than lose the funding by having to wait another month. Because Tulane's ad has been in circulation with the Placement Service since October 2008, we are granting permission for them to begin their application review process now (January 2009).

POSITION ONE: The Department of Classical Studies at Tulane University has administrative approval to appoint a tenure-track assistant professor to begin in August 2009. We are looking for a scholar who concentrates on religious developments of the Roman Empire and Late Antiquity in their historical, social, and cultural contexts.

Please include your name in the title of all documents sent as attachments. We invite you to visit our website: http://www.tulane.edu/~classics/. The review of applications will begin in early December, 2008, and we will interview candidates at the APA/AIA meetings in Philadelphia in January. Tulane University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer committed to excellence through diversity and offers benefits to domestic partners. All eligible candidates are invited to apply for this position.

POSITION TWO: The Department of Classical Studies at Tulane University has administrative approval to appoint a visiting assistant professor for 2009-2010. The position is possibly renewable. We are looking for a scholar who is broadly trained in Roman studies, prepared to offer a survey course in Roman art and archaeology as well as an upper-level seminar in Roman studies, and able to teach Latin at all undergraduate levels. Candidates should send a c.v. and letter of application by email to Prof. Lisa George (lrgeorge@tulane.edu), Department of Classical Studies, Tulane University, New Orleans, LA 70118, 504-862-3080. Please include your name in the title of all documents sent as attachments. We invite you to visit our website: http://www.tulane.edu/~classics/.
