Camden Professorship of Ancient History

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p></p><div>The Faculty of Classics and Brasenose College intend to appoint to the Camden Professorship of Ancient History with effect from 1st October 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. The Camden Chair is one of the most prominent professorships in the English-speaking world for research and teaching in the field of Roman history, and the Faculty welcomes applications from those with expertise in this broadly defined area.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>The Faculty takes an inclusive view of the concept of &#8216;Roman history&#8217;, and although all applicants will be expected to engage with the politics, society and culture of Republican and Imperial Rome between the third century BCE and the fourth century CE, and to be ready to supervise doctoral projects across this field, applications are welcomed from those whose research ranges beyond this, within what the discipline currently understands as the ancient world.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>You will exercise academic leadership through your own research and teaching, by seeking research grants, by promoting a culture of obtaining research funding amongst colleagues and graduate students, and by building relationships with potential donors to Oxford Classics. You will have broad interests and sympathies in order that you may contribute to and promote what is a wide and increasingly interdisciplinary research field in Oxford, and to help lead the Faculty&#8217;s drive towards a more diverse and inclusive culture. An important part of the role will be the co-leadership, with the Wykeham Professor of Ancient (Greek) History, of the Postgraduate Taught Programme in Greek and/or Roman History.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>You should have a distinguished international profile in research and publication in any aspect of ancient Roman history (as defined above), an excellent record of teaching and graduate supervision, the ability and willingness to foster community and provide academic leadership in the field of ancient Roman history within the Faculty, and the intellectual vision to develop the study of Roman History in the UK and to maintain interest and public engagement in the subject in Oxford and beyond.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>If you would like to discuss this post, please contact Professor Llewelyn Morgan on &#160;<a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:llewelyn.morgan@bnc.ox.ac.uk">llewelyn.morgan@bnc.ox.ac.uk</a>.
