Job Description
The Department of History of Art and Visual Studies at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor faculty position in Ancient Mediterranean Art and Archaeology. While seeking to maintain Cornell's strengths in Greek and Roman visual culture, we welcome applications from scholars who specialize in the region as broadly conceived (including Eurasia, Western Asia, North Africa, and the Western Roman provinces), in keeping with the global outlook of History of Art at Cornell, and who work in diverse methodologies and genres. Given our close relationship with the Cornell Institute of Archaeology and Material Studies (CIAMS), candidates must have training in archaeological fieldwork. As this position includes curatorial responsibilities related to Cornell's plaster cast collection, we welcome candidates with experience in object-based research. Applicants should possess a Ph.D. degree in an appropriate field of study prior to the appointment start date on July 1, 2027. The appointment requires a 2-2 teaching load (typically one lecture course and one seminar each semester) and includes an introductory course, intermediate-level courses of broad interest to students, and advanced undergraduate and graduate seminars on topics of the candidate's choosing. Responsibilities include teaching, advising, and service to the department and the university. They include occasionally designing and delivering First-Year Writing Seminars (FWS) on a topic of interest in their field, and teaching Cornell's Advising Seminar for first-year students periodically. The applicant is expected to contribute to the Department's curriculum development and design, and engage with students, staff, and faculty working across a range of disciplines on campus, such as Archaeology, Anthropology, Classics, and Near Eastern Studies. Interested applicants should upload the following materials by October 18, 2026, to https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/32482:
- Cover letter
- Curriculum Vitae
- Research statement
- Teaching statement
- Sample syllabi
