The Department of Art and Archaeology at Princeton University invites applications for a Lecturer position in the art and archaeology of the ancient Near East or Egypt for the 2024-2025 academic year. The position is expected to be full-time, contingent on enrollments, with the possibility of a one-year renewal. The position is anticipated to begin September 1, 2024.
The lecturer is expected to serve as the head AI / TA for the department's two flagship courses: introduction to the history of art (fall semester) and introduction to the history of architecture (spring semester). In addition, the candidate will lead precepts (small-group discussion sections) in those classes. The positions require leading discussions, attending course lectures, being available for meetings with the course instructor(s), holding regular on-campus office hours, and grading student exams and papers.
