Faculty Posting Details
Appointment:
The University of Puget Sound invites applications for the Lora Bryning Redford Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Archaeology starting in Fall 2024. This is a nonrenewable one-year position.
Responsibilities:
The Redford Fellow will be expected to teach four undergraduate courses over the year: two in the fall and two in the spring. One or two of these courses should be an introduction to archaeology (including archaeological methods), while the other courses can be more specialized and will be determined according to the successful fellow's interests and abilities. The Fellow will deliver a public lecture and serve as a campus resource for those interested in archaeology. The Fellow will be assigned to an appropriate department (e.g. Art and Art History; Greek, Latin, and Ancient Mediterranean Studies; History; Religion, Spirituality and Society), where a mentor will assist with courses and professional development.
Qualifications:
We invite applications from scholars who have completed a Ph.D. in archaeology or anthropology within the last five years. We seek a candidate who has expertise in archaeology of the Roman world c. 500 BCE to 500 CE. Specialization in the Western Mediterranean, including but not limited to Italy, Spain, North Africa, France, Germany, and Britain, is preferred, but qualified candidates with projects in other areas of the Roman Empire are encouraged to apply. Scholars who are able to make connections across disciplines and demonstrate the impact of archaeological work on a variety of fields in an undergraduate liberal arts setting are especially encouraged to apply.
Application Deadline:
Search and selection procedures will be closed when a sufficient number of qualified candidates have been identified. Interested individuals are encouraged to submit application materials no later than March 01, 2024, to ensure consideration.
Required Documents:
• Curriculum vitae, including the names of three references.
