The Department of Classical Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology at the University of Michigan invite applications for a full-time, tenure-track position in ancient history and numismatics to begin in September 2017. This is a university-year appointment. We seek a scholar who brings contemporary historical and archaeological perspectives to the study of ancient coins, and who is committed to museum research, exhibition, and education.

In the Department of Classical Studies, the successful candidate will help to build the curriculum in Classical civilization and archaeology, teach two courses per year ranging from lower division lecture courses to specialized graduate seminars, and advise graduate and undergraduate students in Classical Studies, the Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art and Archaeology (IPCAA), and the Interdepartmental Program in Greek and Roman History (IPGRH). At the Kelsey Museum, the successful candidate will have the regular responsibilities of a curator, including participation in the exhibition program, stewardship (including publication) of the collections, and involvement in Museum-sponsored field projects. The Kelsey Museum collections include approximately 45,000 coins, many of which remain unpublished. The Kelsey Museum and Department of Classical Studies also sponsor a number of ongoing field projects in classical lands, including excavations at Gabii in Italy, Olynthus in Greece, and Notion in Turkey.
