The Department of History of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, invites applications for an Assistant Professor-in-Residence in Ancient World history beginning August 2022. We welcome applications from candidates with any geographic, linguistic or temporal area of interest in the Ancient World. We anticipate that the successful candidate will teach existing courses on classical Greek and Roman civilization, as well as surveys in the world history sequence. The candidate should also be prepared to propose new courses on other regions and societies of the Ancient World and on broader historical themes and methods in the candidate’s area of specialization. We particularly encourage applications from candidates whose interests and experiences would prepare them to teach on archeology, digital methods, material culture, museology, textual analysis or other areas that would complement our undergraduate and graduate programs, which include North American and Comparative World History (BA and MA); Public History (BA, MA); and Cultural History (Ph.D.).

This position is a teaching-intensive, full-time, career-track appointment and offers an opportunity for a scholar with a primary interest in curriculum development and instruction. The position carries full status as a faculty member in the Department and the opportunity for appointment to the Graduate Faculty and promotion in rank. Promotion standards will prioritize instruction, curriculum development, student advising, and service related to instruction. As a faculty member in residence, the incumbent would typically be assigned to teach 12 credit hours per semester but may receive reassigned time with approval of the chair and dean.
