The Department of Classics at Mount Allison University invites
applications for a two-year Margaret and Wallace McCain Fellowship for
2006-2008. Established on the initiative of the McCain family, the
Fellowship is intended to enhance teaching at the University while adding
new elements of research/creative activity.
Applications are invited from those who have recently completed their
Ph.D. in any area of Classical Studies. Teaching responsibilities will
consist of the equivalent of four semester courses, including
participation in a team-taught introductory course (Greek and Roman
Civilization or/and Classical Mythology) and teaching at other levels of
the undergraduate programme. The Department is particularly interested
in candidates at the beginning of their careers who could both learn from
their experience at Mount Allison and contribute to the full range of
Classical history and language courses taught by the Department.
The appointment will commence July 1, 2006. The Fellowship offers a
competitive salary and the University provides additional research and
travel funds. Relocation assistance and a complete benefits package are
also provided.
Prospective candidates should submit a letter of application, curriculum
vitae, and three letters of reference to: Dr. Ivan M. Cohen, Chair of the
Search Committee, Department of Classics, Mount Allison University, 63D
