Call for applications for Professional Teaching Fellow AND Postdoctoral Fellowship

Please indicate clearly whether you are applying for one or both of these positions. Depending on the candidate/s appointed, they have the potential to be held separately or concurrently.

Professional Teaching Fellow

The School of Humanities at the University of Auckland invites applications for three-year fixed-term part-time position (0.5) as a Professional Teaching Fellow in Classics and Ancient History, commencing in February 2018. The successful candidate will be expected to deliver undergraduate courses in Latin and Ancient History.

Candidates should have a completed or nearly completed PhD in a relevant subject area. The candidate will be primarily tasked with Latin language teaching at the undergraduate level. This will include aspects of the acquisition sequences as well as some upper level literature papers. The position also offers the opportunity to engage in the teaching of undergraduate history/culture courses and may include some postgraduate teaching and/or supervision. Experience with first-generation students and students from a range of ethnic backgrounds is highly desirable.

The University of Auckland is home to the leading and most comprehensive Arts Faculty in New Zealand. It is ranked 25 in the QS World University Rankings by Faculty for 2017. The School of Humanities, comprising the disciplines of Art History, Classics and Ancient History, English and Drama, History, Philosophy and Theological and Religious Studies, constitutes the largest concentration of Humanities scholars in the nation and ranks first nationally in all of the QS subjects if offers.

Applicants should submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae and the names and contact details of two referees to Head of the School of Humanities, Associate Professor Malcolm Campbell, mc.campbell@auckland.ac.nz by Wednesday 6 December.

Inquiries about this position should also be directed to the Head of the School.

Postdoctoral fellowship

The research project ‘Servants of God, Slaves of the Church: Rhetoric and Realities of Service in Early Medieval Europe’ is now advertising for a postdoctoral fellowship which can commence as soon as March 2018, although start time is flexible. This fellowship is structured as a three-year 0.5 role, but could potentially be held full time over 18 months by negotiation. It will be based at the School of Humanities in the University of Auckland, New Zealand.

Funded by a Royal Society of New Zealand Marsden grant (Principal Investigator (PI): Assoc. Prof. Lisa Bailey), this project explores how kings, queens, and other high status Christians in early medieval Europe used the image of slavery to describe and enact their relationship with God, while surrounded by servants and slaves who kept them fed, kept churches clean, and kept religious institutions running. These servants and slaves were thus also servants of God, and the people of early medieval Europe understood the labour they performed for the sake of religion as special and elevated. The aim of the research is to scrutinise the connections between these different ways of serving God in western Europe between the end of the Roman empire and the beginnings of the medieval kingdoms (c. 400 – 900 CE). It details how the realities of service shaped the rhetoric of serving God, while the symbolic service which honoured God also ennobled the service performed by low-status people in churches and religious households.

The geographical focus of the PI’s research will be on Gaul, Germany, Italy, and Northern Europe. The work of the postdoctoral scholar should spread this geographical basis further, so that the project can include detailed analysis of regional patterns or variations. The postdoctoral scholar should therefore have the expertise to work on a region which will not be covered in the PI’s research and will be expected to work towards a co-publication with the PI.

If the position is held part-time, there may also be the opportunity to undertake some undergraduate or postgraduate teaching for additional remuneration.
