Second Call For Papers

Egypt: ancient histories and modern archaeologies
July 14-16 2006, Department of Archaeology/Collingwood College, University 
of Durham

In 1978 the first volume of the New Directions in Archaeology series was 
published by Cambridge University Press. The aim of these volumes was the 
exploration of contemporary theories (in an explicitly interdisciplinary 
manner) within an archaeological framework. Although these volumes were 
highly influential in the development of the archaeological discipline, 
the themes that were debated have rarely been taken up by Egyptologists. 
This conference aims to increase engagement with these themes in an 
Egyptological context.

The conference is aimed both at scholars working within the field of 
Egyptology, and those working in related disciplines on similar material 
culture, such as African Studies, Archaeology, Anthropology, Classics, Art 
History and History, whose varied approaches will enrich and broaden the 
scope of the conference and the discipline.

Abstracts of not more than 250 words are invited for papers of 20 minutes 
duration, to be received by the organisers by 31st April 2006. Abstracts 
should respond to one of the following titles and summaries listed below, 
or to the original texts.

UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI
Department of Classics
SUMMER RESIDENCY PROGRAM

The University of Cincinnati Classics Department is pleased 
to announce the Summer Residency  Program.    Summer Residents, in 
the fields of philology, history and archaeology  will come to Cincinnati 
for a  minimum of one month and a maximum of three  during 
the summer  (June 15 - September 15).   Apart from residence in 
Cincinnati during term, the only obligation of Summer Fellows is to 
pursue their own research.     They will receive  free university 
housing.   They will also receive office space and enjoy the use of 
the University of Cincinnati and Hebrew Union College Libraries.

The University of Cincinnati Burnam Classics Library
(http://www.libraries.uc.edu/libraries/classics/index.html) is one of the 
world's premier collections in the field of Classical Studies. 
Comprising 210,000 volumes and other research materials, the library 
covers all aspects of the Classics: the languages and literatures, 
history, civilization, art, and archaeology.  Of special value for 
scholars is both the richness of the collection and its accessibility
-- almost any avenue of research in the classics can be pursued deeply and 
broadly under a single roof.  The unusually comprehensive core collection, 
which is maintained by three professional classicist librarians, is 
augmented by several special collections such as 15,000 nineteenth century 
German Programmschriften, extensive 
holdings in Palaeography,   Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies.   At 
neighboring Hebrew Union College, the Klau  Library 
(http://library.cn.huc.edu/), with holdings  in excess of 445,000 volumes 
and other research materials, is rich in Judaica  and Near Eastern Studies.

Application Deadline:  February 15.  Applicants must have the Ph.D. in 
hand at the time of application.

For application forms please write:

The Dover Fund, set up in honour of Sir Kenneth Dover, is administered by 
the Hellenic Society. Its purposes are to further the study of the history 
of the Greek language in any period from the Bronze Age to the 15th 
century AD and to further the edition and exegesis of Greek texts, 
including papyri and inscriptions, from any period within those same 
limits. Typically grants are made for such purposes as books, photography 
(including microfilm and xeroxing), and towards the costs of visits to 
libraries, museums, sites and conferences.  The sums awarded will vary 
according to the needs of the applicant, but most grants will be in the 
range £50 - £250; larger grants may be made from time to time at the 
discretion of the awards committee.
Grants will be made to currently registered research students, and, within 
the first five years of their appointment, to lecturers, teaching fellows, 
research fellows, postdoctoral fellows and research assistants. 
Applications must be received by mid February of the year in which a grant 
is sought.

Deadline for the 2006 Dover Fund is 14 FEBRUARY 2006.

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE
Lectureships in the Faculty of Classics

The Faculty of Classics is seeking to appoint to three University 
Lectureships and one Temporary Faculty Lectureship. The successful 
applicants will benefit from the world-class facilities offered by the 
University and the generous support of research and teaching provided by 
the Faculty. The Faculty currently teaches some 250 undergraduates reading 
Classics (all of whom study both Greek and Latin language to degree level) 
and almost 100 graduate students (reading for Masters and doctoral 
degrees). It is one of the leading international centres in Classics, with 
some 40 teachers in Faculty and College posts.

Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for:

a) University Lectureship in Classics (Ancient Literature). This post is 
open to those with a primary research interest in any area of classical 
literature, where the Faculty has an exceptionally strong international 
repution in all aspects of the subject, from textual criticism to cultural 
politics. There is a particular teaching need in Latin. Closing date: 17 
February.

b) University Lectureship in Ancient History (Roman History). This post, 
which is offered in conjunction with the Faculty of History, is created by 
the retirement of Professor Peter Garnsey. It is open to those with a 
primary research interest in any field of Roman history; but there is a 
particular teaching need in Roman imperial history. Closing date: 28 
February.

c) University Lectureship in Classics (any field). This post is open to 
those with a primary research interest in any field of Classics; but the 
successful applicant will be expected to make a major contribution to the 
teaching in one of the classical sub-disciplines taught in the Faculty:
ancient literature, philosophy, history, art and archaeology, linguistics 
and interdisciplinary studies. Closing date: 28 February.

d) Temporary (2 year) Faculty Lectureship (Roman History). This post is 
created by the appointment of Dr Christopher Kelly to a Leverhulme Major 
Research Fellowship. The post is open to those with a primary research 
interest in any field of Roman history, who can teach a final year 
undergraduate course in either Late Antiquity or Roman Britain. Closing
date: 28 February.

Applications from scholars in the early stages of their career, women and 
ethnic minority applicants, all of whom are under-represented in the 
Faculty, will be welcomed.

Appointment will be from 1 October 2006 or as soon thereafter as possible.
The pensionable scale of stipends for a University Lecturer is currently
£25,565 to £39,452 a year (for the temporary Faculty Lecturer £25,565 to
£26,474 a year).

Further particulars may be obtained from www.classics.cam.ac.uk or from 
the Secretary of the Appointments Committee, Faculty of Classics, Sidgwick 
Avenue, Cambridge CB3 9DA (tel: 01223 330515, fax: 01223 335409, e-mail:

restricted to field), unless they request otherwise. Referees should be 
asked to write directly to the Secretary to reach the Faculty by the 
closing date.

The University is committed to equality of opportunity.

Institute.  This is a post-doctoral research position based in Jerusalem.  
Deadline for applications is 20th February.  Please find details below.

The CBRL conducts research in the subject areas supported by the British 
Academy in the countries of the Levant. It is expected that the successful 
candidate will recently have completed a PhD in a relevant subject and 
will be seeking to develop an active research interest in the Israel and 
the Palestinian Territories, leading to the production of a significant 
publication. Their duties will include research and developing and 
administering the CBRL's facilities at the Kenyon Institute in East 
Jerusalem.

The CBRL is keen that its research personnel should maintain strong links

propose ways in which they might maintain a formal connection during their 
period of appointment with a UK university department that is generally 
acknowledged for the excellence of its research in the applicant's 
particular field. Any applicant wishing to do so may therefore include 
with their application a letter from the head of the department to which 
they intend being attached, setting out what the research facilities would 
be extended to them in the event of their being appointed to the post. 

The post is tenable for three years, subject to successful completion of 
an initial six-month probationary period.

Salary will start at £19,789 and be based on the British Academy post-
doctoral scale, taking into account the provision of free accommodation in 
Jerusalem.
