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. The Faculty takes an inclusive view of the concept of ‘Roman history’, 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. 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’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. 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.

Job Description and Selection Criteria Post Camden Professorship of Ancient History Faculty Classics Division Humanities College Brasenose Overview of the post The Faculty of Classics intends to appoint to the Camden Professorship of Ancient (Roman) History with effect from 1 October 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter, following the retirement of Professor Nicholas Purcell. The Professor will be a member of the Faculty of Classics and will hold a fellowship at Brasenose College. The Camden Professorship was established in 1622, the first chair of history to be established in England; since 1910 it has been reserved for Roman History. Professor Purcell has held the post since 2011, his immediate predecessors being Alan Bowman and Sir Fergus Millar. 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. The Faculty takes an inclusive view of the concept of ‘Roman history’, 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. 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’s drive towards a more diverse and inclusive culture. You will have a high international profile and 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. The Camden Professor works closely with the Wykeham Professor of Ancient (Greek) History, currently Professor Nino Luraghi; the Wykeham Chair is concerned with the Greek world. You will be expected to fulfil the teaching obligations of the post by supervising graduate students, giving lectures on the undergraduate syllabus,1 and offering lectures and seminars suitable for graduate students. An important element will be the co-leadership, with the Wykeham Professor, of the Postgraduate Taught (PGT) Programme in Greek and/or Roman History, and in particular to lead a planned review and redesign of this programme. While it is recognised that the Camden Professor may prefer to hold lectures and classes 1 Information on the undergraduate syllabus is available at www.classics.ox.ac.uk, under ‘Undergraduate Study’. mainly in subjects related to their own field(s) of research, it is expected that they will also be willing to provide advice, teaching and supervision on a broad range of subjects. This post is a statutory professorship, which is the most senior academic grade at Oxford. Statutory professors have a world-leading research reputation and exercise broad academic leadership across their department or faculty and college, and more widely in their subject at national and international level.

Faculty of Classics The Classics Faculty incorporates the two Sub-Faculties of Greek and Latin Languages and Literature, and of Ancient History and Classical Archaeology, and currently has 56 university postholders. The appointee will be a member of the Sub-Faculty of Ancient History and Classical Archaeology. The Faculty has seven established chairs: the Regius Professorship of Greek, the Corpus Christi Professorship of Latin Language and Literature, the Camden Professorship of Ancient History, the Wykeham Professorship of Ancient History, the Lincoln Professorship of Classical Archaeology and Art, the Professorship of the Archaeology of the Roman Empire, and the Diebold Professorship of Comparative Philology. Details of the Faculty's postholders and other members of the Faculty are given at www.classics.ox.ac.uk/academic.html. Research in the Faculty embraces a great diversity of subjects and theoretical approaches, ranging chronologically from the Mycenaean to the modern world and encompassing the study of art, archaeology, linguistics, literature, history, and philosophy. Publications by members of the Faculty include editions of literary, papyrological, and epigraphic texts, monographs on authors and genres, studies of the political, social, and economic history of antiquity, research into material and intellectual culture, and reception and performance studies. The Faculty is housed in the purpose-built Stelios Ioannou Centre for Research in Classical and Byzantine Studies in the centre of Oxford. The Centre includes a common room, facilities for graduates, a lecture theatre, and a number of seminar and teaching rooms. It stands conveniently near to the Art, Archaeology and Ancient World Library and the Ashmolean Museum, and only five minutes' walk from the main Bodleian Library. Almost all postholders have offices in their college rather than in the Centre; the office of the Camden Professor is in Brasenose College. The location of classical and Byzantine studies in the same building fosters increasingly close links between the study of the classical and post-classical worlds, especially through the Oxford Centre for Late Antiquity and the Oxford Centre for Byzantine Research. There is increasing interest in relationships between the GraecoRoman world and neighbouring cultures, and study of these and of the reception of classical culture in later ages is also being developed through interdisciplinary work with the Faculties of Philosophy, Oriental Studies, English, Theology and Religion, and Modern Languages. The Faculty is notable for the number of research projects which it houses. It has four Centres: the Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama, the Classical Art Research Centre and Beazley Archive, the Centre for Study of Ancient Documents, and the Oxford September 2023 5 Centre for Byzantine Research. In addition, it has some thirty Research Projects (https://www.classics.ox.ac.uk/research-projects#/ ) the most long-running of which are The Oxyrhynchus Papyri and The Lexicon of Greek Personal Names. Collectively, these centres and projects employ 10 researchers funded by external bodies, including the British Academy, the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the Leverhulme Trust, the Packard Humanities Institute, and the Mellon Foundation. The Faculty of Classics has applied for its first Athena SWAN Bronze award. The Camden Professor will be expected to play an active role in the implementation, and continued integration, of the Athena SWAN action plan within the day to day work of the Faculty. In line with the Faculty’s dedication to diversity and inclusion, applications are encouraged from women and black and minority ethnic candidates, who are underrepresented in academic posts at Oxford. The Faculty has a very active programme of outreach, through its support of organisations such as the Classical Association, and through its involvement with national (and increasingly international) projects which promote classical studies in schools and beyond, including 'Classics in Communities' (classicsincommunities.org/) and the Iris project (irisproject.org.uk/). It is anticipated that the Professor will engage actively with this programme, which is supported by a full-time Outreach Officer. Like other humanities faculties in Oxford, the Classics Faculty is not departmentally organised at undergraduate level. The colleges, which control undergraduate admissions and tutorial (i.e. very small group) teaching, admit about 190 undergraduates each year to read for classical degrees. The Sub-Faculty of Classical Archaeology and Ancient History meets at least once a term to discuss issues of common concern; these meetings are regularly preceded by joint meetings with the Sub-Faculty of Classical Languages and Literature. The Faculty Board controls the admission and supervision of graduate students through its Graduate Studies Committees. There are currently about 90 graduate students in Greek and/or Roman history reading for higher degrees (the DPhil by thesis; the MSt and MPhil which are normally a mixture of thesis and taught course). For more information please visit www.classics.ox.ac.uk. Humanities Division The Humanities Division is one of four academic divisions in the University of Oxford, bringing together the following faculties: Classics; English; History; Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics; Medieval and Modern Languages; Music; Oriental Studies; Philosophy; Theology and Religion; the Ruskin School of Art. The Division has over 500 members of academic staff, approximately 4,100 undergraduates (more than a third of the total undergraduate population of the University), 1,000 postgraduate research students and 720 students on postgraduate taught courses. The Division offers world-class teaching and research, backed by the superb resources of the University’s libraries and museums, including the famous Bodleian Libraries, with their 11 million volumes and priceless early book and manuscript collections, and the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology. Such historic resources are linked to cutting-edge agendas in research and teaching, with an increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary study. Our faculties are among the largest in the world, enabling Oxford to offer an education in Arts and Humanities unparalleled in its range of subjects, from music and fine art to ancient and modern languages. The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH) is the Division’s vehicle for promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, international networks, and public engagement with research. During 2018-19, TORCH hosted almost 400 events, with audiences of over 20,000 people. During 2019-20, TORCH hosted online events during COVID-restrictions, reaching audiences in person and then online of over 50,000 globally. Since 2013, TORCH has supported 400 researchers each year; 62 Knowledge Exchange Fellowships; over 50 seed-funded research networks and 10 research programmes. The current TORCH Director is Professor Christine Gerrard, who is a member of the Faculty of English Language and Literature. September 2023 6 The Humanities Division has embarked on a major building project on the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, following the recent announcement of the £150 million gift to create the Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. The Schwarzman Centre will serve as a dynamic hub dedicated to the Humanities. The building will bring together seven Humanities faculties, the Humanities Divisional Office, a new library and significant cultural and public engagement spaces in a space designed to encourage experiential learning and bold experimentation through cross-disciplinary and collaborative study. For more information please visit: https://www.humanities.ox.ac.uk. Brasenose College There are 39 self-governing and independent colleges at Oxford, giving both academic staff and students the benefits of belonging to a small, interdisciplinary community as well as to a large, internationally-renowned institution. The collegiate system fosters a strong sense of community, bringing together leading academics and students across subjects, and from different cultures and countries. Brasenose was founded in 1509, making it one of the longest-established members of the collegiate University. Across all years, there are approximately 375 undergraduates and 250 enrolled graduates at Brasenose recruited from increasingly diverse backgrounds. The College’s paramount objective is the pursuit of academic excellence and it is concerned to foster research as well as high-quality teaching. 43 Fellows and the Principal comprise the College’s Governing Body. Of these, 5 are Professorial Fellows including 4 Statutory Chairs. Members of the Governing Body act as the trustees of the Charity. As a Professorial Fellow, you will be welcomed into the Brasenose community, and through our various events, and especially over lunch (which is very popular and well-attended), offered the chance to interact with a broad range of other academics across many different disciplines. The appointment offers scope to become as involved in the social and intellectual life of the College as you wish. Throughout the year, there are also opportunities to invite guests – a hospitality allowance encourages Fellows to do this. Brasenose also seeks to be a family-friendly employer. The College is strongly committed to the study of the Ancient World with Tutorial Fellowship appointments in Classics, Ancient History and Classical Archaeology, and Ancient Philosophy. Brasenose’s wider Fellowship includes leading researchers in the fields of History, Literature, Modern Languages. The College currently admits six undergraduates to read Classics each year (including Classics with Ancient History and Archaeology, Classics with English, and Classics with Asian and Middle Eastern Studies). Usually one other student admitted for Ancient and Modern History, and one for Classics with Modern Languages. The College’s graduate community includes students reading for higher degrees in Classics and related subjects. For more information please visit: https://www.bnc.ox.ac.uk.
