From: Guy Chamberland

Quite a few subscribers did not receive the link to issue 18.12.1 (ccb18_12.1.html) because SpamHaus, for no apparent reason, blocked it. I am therefore repeating the announcement for a position available at UofT Mississauga (below) for which the deadline is October 15th.

If you need to update any membership information (email, position, &c.), please consult issue 18.12.1.

The candidate's research may fall chronologically in any period from 8th c. BCE to 6th c. CE. Interests that complement or enhance existing departmental strengths would be an asset. Candidates must demonstrate strong linguistic skills in both Ancient Greek and Latin, and evidence of excellence in and commitment to both research and teaching, with established or clear promise of distinguished publications in their field.

All qualified applicants are encouraged to apply by clicking the link http://www.jobs.utoronto.ca/faculty.htm (Position #1201021). Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Applications must be submitted by October 15, 2012, and include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, sample of academic writing, statement of research interests, all academic transcripts, and a teaching dossier (i.e. all teaching evaluations; sample syllabi, assignments and tests; descriptions of teaching strategies and innovations, etc.). If you have any questions about this position, please contact historical.studies@utoronto.ca. The U of T application system can accommodate up to five attachments (10MB) per candidate profile; please combine attachments into one or two files in PDF/MS Word format. Submission guidelines can be found at: http://uoft.me/how-to-apply. Arrangements should be made for three letters of reference, at least one of which must comment on the applicant's teaching abilities, to be submitted by October 15, 2012 via email to the Chair at historical.studies@utoronto.ca. Please include the candidate's name and "Classics Search" in the subject line.

The successful candidate will have the ability to teach a broad range of courses from the introductory to advanced levels, contributing to the undergraduate program on the Mississauga campus, and will hold a graduate appointment at the Department of Classics on the St. George campus of the University of Toronto.

Information about these two departments is available at: http://www.utm.utoronto.ca/historical-studies/ and http://classics.chass.utoronto.ca/. The successful applicant will join a vibrant intellectual community of world-class scholars at Canada's largest university. The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is one of the most fascinating, diverse and "livable" places in the world.

The University of Toronto is strongly committed to diversity within its community and especially welcomes applications from visible minority group members, women, Aboriginal persons, persons with disabilities, members of sexual minority groups, and others who may contribute to the further diversification of ideas. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.
