The Faculty of Arts invites applications for a senior academic at the rank of Associate Professor or Professor with Tenure to serve as the Department Head of the Department of Classics & Religion. The appointment as Department Head is for a five-year period commencing July 1, 2018, with the possibility of renewal. 

Reporting to the Dean, the primary role of the Head of the Department of Classics & Religion is to provide strong academic leadership. The successful candidate will have the administrative skills and vision necessary to lead and manage the department, building on its current strengths and promoting the development of new strategic directions in research, teaching and learning, and community engagement.

The successful candidate will have a PhD in either classics or religious studies, will be an accomplished scholar and outstanding instructor with strong leadership and solid administrative skills and will bring suitable experience for appointment as a senior faculty member. We are particularly interested in candidates with interdisciplinary strength.

In addition to the expectations listed above, applicants at the Professor rank must demonstrate evidence of an established scholarly and professional reputation, preferably at both the national and international level. A well-established record of service contributions (including service to the discipline, and when relevant, profession) at a leadership level is also expected. 

The Department of Classics & Religion was formed in 2014 with the combining of the former departments of Religious Studies and Greek and Roman Studies. It provides academic support for programs leading to three undergraduate degrees as well as two graduate programs. The department is one of the leaders in the faculty and university in offering a broad international and interdisciplinary dimension as part of their programs as well as research and scholarship.  Further details can be found at https://clare.ucalgary.ca/.
