The 42nd Annual Meeting of the Classical Association of the Pacific
Northwest (CAPN) will take place at the University of Oregon, March
15-16, 2013.

Call for Papers: We invite papers on any aspect of Graeco-Roman
antiquity, and we especially seek those that are likely to be of broad
interest and make connections among the different elements of the
ancient world. Such connections can be between Greek society and Roman
society, between different disciplines such as archaeology, literature
and history, or between different genres of literature. We also welcome
pedagogical papers, especially those that address the instruction of
Latin and Greek at primary, secondary and university levels. Teachers
and students of the Classics at any level of instruction (K-12, college,
or university) may submit abstracts; all papers will be judged
anonymously by the Program Committee, chaired by CAPN President Mary
Jaeger.

Abstracts of no more than 200 words may be submitted by email to this
address: maryjaeg AT uoregon.edu . The deadline for submissions is January
10, 2013. You should receive a response by the end of January.

Further details about the conference schedule, keynote address, and
practicalities will be sent out as soon as they are available, and will
be accessible on the CAPN webpage (http://classicalassocpacificnw.org ).

Vacancy: Lecturer in Classics, University of Otago, New Zealand

The University of Otago is the oldest university in New Zealand. The Chair
in Classics was one of the three foundation chairs established in 1869,
and the Department is known for its excellence in research and teaching.
Our academic staff are recognised internationally for their scholarly
contributions in the broad fields of classical literature, history, and
archaeology, and are well represented in leading journals and on editorial
boards.

We particularly seek a new colleague who will augment and bolster our
existing research strengths and innovative teaching programme. This
lectureship is a permanent, full-time (confirmation-path) position.
Applicants will be qualified at PhD level, and will show clear evidence
of, or at least strong potential for, internationally rated publications,
and a willingness to seek external research funds. (Please attach a sample
of recently written research.)

While applications will be considered from candidates whose research
interests lie in any branch of classical studies, teaching expertise in
art/archaeology, mythology or philosophy or film/reception is desirable,
plus the ability to teach Greek language (preferably both Greek and Latin)
to a high level. Previous teaching experience (especially of large
classes) is also desirable, as well as a demonstrated ability to enthuse
and inspire students. (Please attach teaching evaluations.)

The successful appointee will be required to teach both language and
classical civilisation courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate
levels; to supervise research at Honours, Masters and PhD levels; to
develop and maintain a strong research profile; and to undertake
administrative roles and community/professional service activities which
contribute to the overall effectiveness and standing of the Department.

Specific enquiries prior to application may be directed to Associate
Professor Jon Hall, Convener of the Selection Committee (email:
jon.hall AT otago.ac.nz); or to Dr Patricia Hannah, Head of Department
(email: pat.hannah At otago.ac.nz).

Applications are to be submitted online. Please consult the following

appointment will be 1 July 2013.
