In addition to their teaching duties, Keiter Fellows may help with course development, foster interdisciplinarity, and introduce new pedagogies. The program is designed to provide fellows with valuable teaching experience and time to complete and publish their research prior to seeking full-time tenure-track positions; fellows are encouraged to pursue their independent research programs vigorously and have all of Amherst's facilities and a modest research allowance to assist them. The Keiter Fellow in Classics will be assigned a primary mentor in the department and will be encouraged to attend orientation programs and special mentoring events for assistant professors at Amherst.

SACRED HEART UNIVERSITY – FAIRFIELD, CT
The Department of History of Sacred Heart University, Fairfield, CT, invites applications to fill a tenure-track position in ancient history at the rank of Assistant Professor, beginning September, 2007. A Ph.D. in hand or near completion by appointment is required.
The position carries a 4-course per semester teaching requirement. Normally, at least two of those courses will be sections of a core-curriculum course that is being introduced next fall: Common Core 101, The Human Journey. Coverage in CC101 includes the ancient world and the evolution of Western thought through the Renaissance, with special attention directed at the Catholic intellectual tradition. In addition, approximately one quarter of the course introduces the classical period in China up to the Qin-Han period. In broad strokes, the course objective is to focus students’ attention on the ways by which humans have addressed the central and enduring questions of human life, viewing them from the perspective of both western and a non-western civilization. The course methodology involves exposing students extensively to primary sources that speak directly to the essential questions that are raised in the course, and inasmuch as the delivery mechanism we are using contains a substantial online component, it is expected that our successful candidate will become comfortable with instructional technology (Blackboard) that permits the integration of online services and printed texts.
We also expect our candidate both to offer a set of electives in ancient and Greco-Roman history that he or she will create under departmental supervision and to participate in our senior capstone course, Senior Seminar, a year-long research project that each of our roughly 85 majors completes under the guidance of a faculty mentor.
Sacred Heart is primarily an undergraduate institution that strongly emphasizes teaching. Consistent with its mission as a comprehensive Catholic university, however, it is assumed that all faculty members will also conduct research and scholarship that leads to full participation in the academic life of the University and the scholarly community at large.
Sacred Heart University is a dynamic, independent, coeducational institution of Catholic higher education that is committed to academic excellence and to the Catholic intellectual and liberal arts traditions. Sacred Heart University is an EOE/AA employer. Members of underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.
