Context
The Lecturer in Ancient Mediterranean Studies will be a joint appointment that is co-funded by the Trendall Research Centre for Ancient Mediterranean Studies and the Research Centre for Greek Studies in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. The position will be responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Trendall Centre and will also contribute to teaching and research within the Faculty.
The A. D. Trendall Research Centre for Ancient Mediterranean Studies was established in 1998 from the Estate of the late Professor A. D. Trendall with the aim of contributing to our understanding of the ancient cultures of the Mediterranean, particularly the material culture of the Greeks colonists and native populations in South Italy and Sicily. The Trendall Centre, located at present in Trendall’s former apartment at Menzies College on the Melbourne (Bundoora) campus, includes among its resources a large library of books and periodicals in the general area of Greek and Roman culture, and an outstanding archive of some 40,000 photographs of South Italian red-figure vases of the Classical period.
The Lectureship is located within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and will be supervised by the Director of the Research Centre for Greek Studies. The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences has an international reputation for the quality of its teaching and research programs. It is guided by the core values identified by the University in the operation of its research, scholarship, teaching and organisational practices. The Research Centre for Greek Studies is closely connected with the School of Historical and European Studies, which includes the discipline programs of Art History, Archaeology, European Studies, French Studies, Greek Studies, History, Italian and Spanish, across five campuses of the University.
