The Department of Classics at Florida State University invites applications for a tenure-track appointment at the level of assistant professor. We seek a specialist in Aegean prehistory and material culture; expertise in the cultures of Anatolia, Levant, and Mesopotamia in the third and second millennia BCE is also desirable. Candidates should demonstrate a commitment to both research excellence and engaged teaching to multiple constituencies.



This is a tenure-earning position that will begin in August 2024. A doctoral degree from an accredited institution is required, as well as a demonstrated record of achievement in teaching, academic research, and service. Salary is competitive. The 2/2 teaching assignment normally includes both undergraduate- and graduate-level teaching with at least one large undergraduate course with broad appeal to non-majors. More information regarding the program at FSU can be found at our website (classics.fsu.edu).
