I have been asked by Janet Hatch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to relay the following:
The Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University announces an open-rank search for an advanced tenure-track faculty member or a tenured professor in the field of Egyptology. The aim of this interdisciplinary search is to appoint an outstanding scholar whose research and teaching will complement the University's current coverage of the civilizations of the ancient world, with a focus on the ancient Near East and Mediterranean. Applicants should be conversant with the art, archaeology, culture, and history of ancient Egypt, preferably in the third and second millennium BCE, and should also know ancient Egyptian, although it is not anticipated that the appointee will offer language instruction. The departmental affiliation of the appointee will be determined in light of his or her research and teaching program. A Ph.D. or equivalent and a distinguished record of scholarship and teaching are expected. Teaching duties will include courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Applicants should submit a letter of application, including a brief statement of current and future research and teaching interests, and a curriculum vitae with a complete bibliography, to Egyptology Search, c/o Ms. Janet Hatch, Harvard University, 201 Robinson Hall, 35 Quincy Street, Cambridge, MA 02138. The deadline for applications is April 30, 2008. Harvard is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. Applications from women and members of minority groups are strongly encouraged.
