The Department of Classics at Washington & Lee University invites applications for a one-year visiting position at the rank of assistant professor.
The successful candidate must be able to teach Latin at all levels, as well as Classics courses that reach a broad audience of non-majors. A teaching load of 2-3-1 will include four Latin language courses at the elementary and intermediate levels (2 sections of first-semester elementary Latin using Wheelock’s Latin; 2 sections of fourth-semester Latin reading Ovidian poetry) and two different Classics/Ancient Mediterranean culture courses. Our calendar consists of two 12-week terms and a 4-week May term where pedagogical innovation is encouraged and supported. Preference will be given to those candidates whose teaching and research complement current strengths of the department.
To achieve our mission as a liberal arts college, we strive to foster a welcoming campus community, which recognizes the value of all persons. Our department is committed to preparing our students for engaged citizenship by creating a positive learning and working environment for all through open and substantive dialogue. We welcome applications from candidates that would contribute to the University’s mission and Strategic Plan.
