The American School of Classical Studies at Athens will appoint one or two senior scholars with a significant record of publication and teaching in a North American institution and a member of the Managing Committee or faculty/staff from a Cooperating Institution as Elizabeth A. Whitehead Visiting Professors.

Whitehead Professors should be working on projects, which utilize the facilities of the School and enrich the academic program of the School. Whitehead Professors are encouraged to present a seminar during the winter term (late November to late March) on the subject of their expertise and to contribute to the academic program in other significant ways, such as mentoring or advising students at the School and participating in School trips and excursions.
