Classics at the University of Glasgow is a vibrant and growing department
within the Faculty of Arts. We currently have eight academic staff, an active
and lively community of postgraduates, and teach a range of courses to a
substantial number of undergraduates. Our research is focused on the
literature, history and culture of Greco-Roman antiquity and the ways in which
the subsequent cultural traditions have used and understood the ancient world.
We are inter-disciplinary in our approach, actively engaged in exploring
research collaborations across the disciplines. Our teaching combines an open-
ended enquiry-led pedagogy with traditional rigour in its approach to
disciplinary skills; the strength of our teaching is reflected in outstanding
NSS results.

We are looking to recruit someone with outstanding potential as a researcher.
You will be in a position to make a major contribution to the discipline
through actual and forthcoming publications and to develop your research
through successful research grant applications. You will be enthusiastic in
exploring the possibilities for research collaboration with colleagues in
other institutions and other disciplines and will have a clear understanding
of your research’s potential for Impact. You will grasp opportunities to
enhance the department’s overall research profile. Preference in this aspect
may be given to an ancient historian (broadly conceived), but applicants from
any area of the discipline are invited to demonstrate the intersection between
their own research and existing strengths.

Your teaching will demonstrate a consistent engagement with student learning
and an understanding of the range of pedagogical approaches to the discipline.
You will be willing to co-operate in team-taught courses and to teach flexibly
across a broad range of areas to support the department’s overall provision.
