Durham, United Kingdom Durham University Full time

The Department seeks to appoint a talented individual to the role of Assistant Professor. We welcome applications from those with research and teaching interests in the field of Digital Humanities as applied to the Ancient Greek World, including ancient Greek language, literature, history, and visual or intellectual culture (broadly understood).

This post offers an exciting opportunity to make a major contribution to the development of internationally excellent research and teaching while allowing unrivalled opportunities to progress and embed your career in an exciting and progressive institution.

The Department of Classics and Ancient History is part of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, and we were ranked 6th in the 2024 QS World Rankings for Classics. The Department of Classics and Ancient History is one of the very best in the UK, and indeed worldwide, with an outstanding reputation for excellence in teaching and research. We were ranked joint fourth in the last national research evaluation (REF2021) in terms of the quality of our work. We attract large numbers of exceptionally talented undergraduate, MA, and doctoral students, and we focus on high quality research-led teaching. The Department delivers very high levels of overall student satisfaction. In student-facing guides and league tables we are regularly ranked among the top Classics Departments in the UK.

We have a long tradition of excellence in Greek and Latin literature, ancient history and ancient philosophy and the near east. Five interdisciplinary research centres are based in the Department: the Centre for the Study of the Ancient Mediterranean and the Near East (CAMNE), the Durham Centre for Classical Reception (DCCR), CLAWS (Centre for Language and Writing Systems), the Durham Centre for Ancient and Medieval Philosophy (DCAMP), and the Centre for Classics Education Research and Engagements (CERES).We seek now to extend our capabilities in Digital Humanities research: an area in which the Faculty and University are making a significant investment, building on the success of Durham’s Masters of Data Science in Digital Humanities.
