About You
The Department of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Warwick is seeking to appoint an individual to a permanent post (subject to satisfactory completion of probation) in the History of the Ancient Mediterranean, specialism in numismatics.
In research, you will be a specialist in ancient numismatics, within the broader discipline of the history of the ancient Mediterranean. The successful candidate will be an active researcher with a proven track record in publishing in their field. You will have clear plans for significant future research, and the potential and ambition to make applications for substantial research-grant funding, including for projects which will involve students. You will also be committed to maximizing the impact of your research on wider audiences outside of academia. Your research interests in numismatics may lie anywhere within the classical period, and should complement the research strengths of the Department as a whole and existing numismatics pre-eminence.
In teaching, you will be expected to teach modules on ancient history and ancient visual and material culture, with the ability to teach existing modules covering the ancient histories of Greece and Rome and the Hellenistic world.
You will also have the opportunity to design your own undergraduate modules in the history of the ancient Mediterranean and to teach numismatics at MA level.
You will be expected to supervise dissertations at undergraduate, master’s and doctoral level. We welcome applications from candidates who can further diversify our syllabus and cover areas of the ancient Mediterranean which we do not currently offer.
The Department has a dedicated Antiquities room in the new Faculty of Arts building housing our collection of ancient artefacts and coins, and the successful candidate will be involved in further developing this resource for research, teaching, impact, and engagement.
