Yet I would like to mention the passing of a New Zeland classicist with a Canadian connection. Matthew Trundle (12 October 1965–12 July 2019) obtained his PhD from the Department of History, McMaster University in 1996. He then taught at Glendon College in Toronto before being appointed as a Lecturer in Classics at Victoria University of Wellington, NZ, in 1999. He rose to the rank of Associate Professor in 2011.

SAINT MARY'S UNIVERSITY
TENURE-TRACK POSITION IN CLASSICS AND INTERCULTURAL STUDIES

From Myles McCallum

The Department of Modern Languages and Classics at Saint Mary’s University invites applications for a tenure-track appointment in classics and intercultural studies at the rank of Assistant Professor. Applicants should hold a PhD in classics and be able to make an active and ongoing contribution to our new program in Intercultural Studies. The ability to contribute to other programs in the Department will be considered an asset. Preference will be given to candidates with an active research portfolio in classics and a previous record of teaching success at the university-level. The successful candidate will be expected to teach a combination of courses in classics, including both ancient Greek and Latin, as well as courses on classical literature and culture. They will also be required to develop courses that contribute to the major and minor in Intercultural Studies, and to teach one of the program’s core courses in rotation with other faculty members. Areas of research and teaching interest in classics that might be particularly relevant to Intercultural Studies include, but are certainly not limited to: ancient imperialism and colonization; ancient intercultural and cross-cultural contact; race and racism in classical antiquity; the application of critical-race theory to the study of classics; classical reception in literature and art; the intersection of classics and European imperialism and colonization; and literary and cultural constructions of sex and gender in classical antiquity. The successful candidate will be expected to participate fully in the academic life of the Department and the University, to engage in research activities, and render service to the institution via committee work and outreach activities. The appointment will begin July 1, 2020. For more information about the programs in Modern Languages and Classics, please follow this link.

Applications are to be addressed to Myles McCallum, Chairperson, Modern Languages and Classics, and submitted electronically to mlc@smu.ca.

Applicants should submit an application package consisting of a letter of application, an up-to-date CV, a teaching dossier showing evidence of successful teaching (including course evaluations where possible and a statement of teaching philosophy), a research dossier including one sample of recent scholarly writing and a research agenda, university transcripts, and names and contact information for three references. Applications and supporting materials should be submitted as PDF files.

The deadline for applications is September 30, 2019. The Department will not interview long-listed candidates at the 2020 meetings of the SCS/AIA.

If you require further information, please contact Dr. Myles McCallum, Chairperson, Department of Modern Languages & Classics at (902) 420-5815 or via email at myles.mccallum@smu.ca.
