This fellowship is a full-time, salaried appointment that is open only to those who will have completed all requirements for the Ph.D. by September 2007, and who have not already held a regular faculty appointment.
We seek a Fellow who will contribute to the department’s program in the language, literature, and culture of the Romans. Over the course of four semesters the Fellow may expect to teach courses at all levels of Latin instruction for majors and potential majors and a course of his/her own design on some aspect of the Roman world for the broader student population at Amherst.
