From Boris Chrubasik

The Department of Historical Studies at the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) invites applications for a three-year Contractually Limited Term Appointment (CLTA) at the rank of Assistant Professor. The appointment will begin on 01 July 2019 and end on 30 June 2022.

Applicants must have earned a PhD in Classics by the date of appointment. We seek a candidate whose research complements the expertise already present in the Classical Civilization program in the Department of Historical Studies. The successful candidate’s research will focus on Latin prose literature and must demonstrably engage with the cultural, political, and social contexts that produced the literary works they study. All fields of Latin prose except rhetoric and philosophy will be considered. Successful applicants must also demonstrate strong linguistic skills in both Greek and Latin.

The successful candidate must display evidence of excellence in both research and teaching. Evidence of excellence in teaching will be demonstrated through teaching experience, strong letters of reference, and the teaching dossier (including a statement of teaching philosophy, sample syllabi and course materials, a description of pedagogic innovation and strategies, and teaching evaluations) submitted as part of the application. Evidence of excellence in research will be demonstrated by the quality of representative writing samples submitted with the application, publications in top-ranked and field-relevant academic journals, presentations at conferences, and strong endorsements by referees.

The successful applicant must have the ability to teach a broad range of existing and new courses from the introductory to the advanced level in the undergraduate curriculum in Classical Civilization at the Mississauga Campus of the University of Toronto. The candidate is also expected to be able to teach Latin and Greek at all levels. While this position includes no formal graduate appointment and graduate teaching duties, the candidate will also be part of the community of the Tri-Campus Graduate Department of Classics. Further information about the departments is available at welcome-department-historical-studies and classics-utoronto.

Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

The successful applicant will join a vibrant intellectual community of world-class scholars at Canada’s largest university, which is home to one of North America’s largest group of Classicists. The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is one of the most fascinating, diverse and “livable” places in the world.

All qualified candidates are invited to apply online by clicking the link below. Applications must be submitted by 31 January 2019, and include 1) a cover letter, 2) CV, 3) one article-length sample of academic writing, 4) statement of research interests, 5) a statement of contribution to equity and diversity (see below), 6) copies of academic transcripts and 7) a teaching dossier (consisting of a statement of teaching philosophy, teaching evaluations, sample syllabi with sample assignments and/or tests, and a description of pedagogic innovations and strategies).

Equity and diversity are among UTM’s core values and are essential to academic excellence. We seek candidates who value diversity and whose research, teaching and service bear out our commitment to equity. Candidates are therefore also asked to submit a 1-2 page statement of contributions to equity and diversity, which might cover topics such as (but not limited to): research or teaching that incorporates a focus on underrepresented communities, the development of inclusive pedagogies, or the mentoring of students from underrepresented groups.

Applicants must also arrange to have three letters of reference sent directly by the referee by email (on letterhead and signed) to historical.studies@utoronto.ca by the closing date.

Submission guidelines can be found at how-to-apply. We recommend combining attached documents into one or two files in PDF/MS Word format. If you have questions about this position, please contact Duncan Hill at 905-569-4913.

The University of Toronto is strongly committed to diversity within its community and especially welcomes applications from racialized persons / persons of colour, women, Indigenous / Aboriginal People of North America, persons with disabilities, LGBTQ persons, and others who may contribute to the further diversification of ideas.

As part of your application, you will be asked to complete a brief Diversity Survey. This survey is voluntary. Any information directly related to you is confidential and cannot be accessed by search committees or human resources staff. Results will be aggregated for institutional planning purposes.

THE VENUS POMPEIANA PROJECT

From Ilaria Battiloro

The Department of Classics at Mount Allison University offers a Summer archaeological field school in Pompeii (Italy) for credit. The aim of this research program is to investigate the Sanctuary of Venus and its architectural and cultural history, with special focus on the pre-Roman phase of the site and the impact that the Roman conquest had on its architectural forms and cultic system.

This program is designed to offer students a holistic view of methodologies and techniques of archaeological research through an extended period of experiential learning.

For further information on the program, application requirements, and application procedures, please visit the webpage: mta.ca/pompeii/.

Interested students should contact Dr. Ilaria Battiloro (ibattiloro@mta.ca).

Application deadline is January 11, 2019.

ASCSA SUMMER SESSION
Deadline: January 15, 2019

From Alicia Dissinger

The Summer Session program of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens is a six-week session designed for those who wish to become acquainted with Greece and its major monuments, and to improve their understanding of the country’s landscape, history, material culture, literature, and culture from antiquity to the present.

The Director for the 2019 Summer Session (June 10 to July 24, 2019) is Professor Matthew Sears, University of New Brunswick.

Eligibility: Enrollment is open to graduate and advanced undergraduate students and to high school and college instructors of classics and related subjects. Enrollment is limited to twenty participants. The language of instruction is English. Applicants who are not enrolled or teaching at English-speaking colleges, universities, or schools, are required to supply evidence of proficiency in English.

Format: The ASCSA Summer Session has provided the most extensive exposure to Greece, ancient and modern, for generations of students of Classics and related fields. It has a strong academic component with participants researching and presenting topics on site and offers unique opportunities to interact with eminent archaeologists in the field. Roughly half of the session is spent in travel throughout Greece. Three trips of varying duration give the participant an introduction to the major archaeological sites and museum collections. The remainder of the session is devoted to study of the museums and monuments of Athens and the surrounding area with day trips to such sites as Marathon, Sounion, and Eleusis. The Summer Session's commitment to presenting a comprehensive view of Greece's rich history leads to long days and extensive walking in the hot Mediterranean climate. Participants should be prepared for a rigorous program of study.

Cost: Fees for the 2019 program are $4,900. This includes tuition, room for the entire six-week period, partial board in Athens, travel within Greece, and museum and site fees. International airfare, some meals, and incidental expenses are the participant's responsibility. Financial aid is available in the form of ASCSA scholarships, awarded on the basis of academic merit, and many classical professional organizations have funding opportunities. More information at summer-session/ss-scholarships.

Application: More information and online application forms are available through the website at https://www.ascsa.edu.gr/programs/summer-session. Applicants will complete an online application. Applicants are required to submit legible pdf scans of academic transcripts as part of the online application, and arrange for the online submission of two letters of recommendation by January 15, 2019. Application fee: $25. Link to application: ascsa-summer-session-application

All applicants will be notified by March 20, 2019.

UNIVERSITY OF COLOGNE
GERMAN FOR STUDENTS OF CLASSICAL STUDIES

From the Editor

Mike Sampson informs me of a German course for students of Classics offered by the University of Cologne. Note that, in lieu of fees, Cologne requests "reciprocity": the possibility that a German student would be welcome at an institution who had a student accepted. The basic idea is that if a student from Cologne wanted to come to Canada as a visiting student, the department would accept him/her. For more information, please contact Anja Bettenworth: anja.bettenworth@uni-koeln.de.

CIG SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
A MATCHING GIFT! — MILLION DOLLAR CAMPAIGN
ANNONCE SPÉCIALE DE L'ICG
UN DON JUMELÉ! — CAMPAGNE "LE MILLION DE DOLLARS"

From Angus Smith

The Canadian Institute in Greece is pleased to announce that it has been offered a very generous matching gift from an anonymous donor to be put towards the Institute's Million Dollar Campaign. The donor has agreed that any new donations received after November 1st 2018 will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to a total of $100,000!

This gift comes at a crucial time for the Institute since we are still far from reaching our goal of $1 million for the Campaign. Immediately, we need more than $50,000 to complete minimum renovations and structural improvements before moving into the House purchased last year near the Hilton Hotel, and we need slightly more than $200,000 to complete all the planned renovations so that the House is entirely finished and fully usable.

The large, historic House at No. 3 Orminiou St. in Athens is waiting to become the proud new home of the Canadian Institute in Greece. The CIG Board along with our supporters and friends have taken a bold step in purchasing the House and creating this wonderful opportunity. The deadline set for the matching gift is March 1st 2019. Now, with a final push and encouragement from the generosity of our anonymous donor, the end is in sight. Please, let's seize this great chance — CARPE DIEM!

Gifts and pledges can be sent to the CIG Treasurer, Jeff Banks (banks9@uwindsor.ca, home address: 13192 Jasper Place, Tecumseh, ON, N8N 3K4), marked for the Million Dollar Campaign. For more information: http://www.cig-icg.gr/appeal.

L'Institut canadien en Grèce est heureux d'annoncer qu'il a obtenu un don jumelé très généreux d'un donateur anonyme à sa campagne "Le million de dollars" de l'Institut. Le donateur s'engage à égaler au dollar près tous les nouveaux dons reçus après le 1er novembre 2018, jusqu'à concurrence de $100,000!

Ce don arrive au bon moment pour l'Institut car nous sommes encore loin de notre objectif de $1 million. Nous avons un besoin urgent de plus de $50,000 pour effectuer les rénovations et améliorations indispensables avant d'emménager dans la nouvelle demeure achetée l'an dernier près de l'hôtel Hilton, et il nous faudrait un peu plus de $200,000 pour mener à bien tous les travaux prévus afin que le bâtiment soit entièrement fini et habitable.

La grande demeure patrimoniale située au 3, rue Orminiou à Athènes, sera le nouveau et superbe foyer de l'Institut canadien en Grèce. Le conseil d'administration de l'ICG, ainsi que nos partisans et amis, ont pris la décision audacieuse d'acheter cette maison et nous offrent ainsi une merveilleuse opportunité. La date limite pour le don jumelé est le 1er mars 2019. Aujourd'hui, avec un dernier effort et les encouragements généreux de notre donateur anonyme, le but est presque atteint. Ne laissons pas passer cette belle occasion — CARPE DIEM!

Les dons et promesses de dons peuvent être envoyés au trésorier du CIG, Jeff Banks (banks9@uwindsor.ca, adresse du domicile: 13192 Jasper Place, Tecumseh, ON, N8N 3K4), avec la mention Campagne "Le million de dollars". Pour plus d'informations: http://www.cig-icg.gr/appeal
