Faculty of Classics in association with Lincoln College
The Faculty of Classics and Lincoln College intend to appoint to the Lincoln Professorship of Classical Archaeology and Art with effect from 1 October 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter. The Lincoln Professorship is the most prominent professorship in the English-speaking world for research and teaching in the art and material culture of the ancient Greek and wider Eastern Mediterranean world. The Faculty welcomes applications from those with expertise in this broadly defined area.
You should have a high international research profile and broad interests and sympathies in order to be able to contribute to and promote this increasingly interdisciplinary research field in Oxford. You will be expected to exercise academic leadership through your own research and teaching, by seeking research grants, by promoting a culture of obtaining research funding amongst colleagues and graduate students, and by building relationships with potential donors to Oxford Classics. You will supervise and give lectures and seminars for graduate students, and lecture for undergraduate courses in Classical Archaeology and Art, across a wide range of subjects in the discipline. You will also be expected to take a leading role in the ongoing efforts to diversify the Classics Faculty and its curriculum.
This role is complementary to the Professorship of the Archaeology of the Roman Empire, which is concerned with the Roman world and with material culture, while the Lincoln Professorship is concerned with the Greek world, the eastern Mediterranean, and visual culture and representation. The Lincoln Professor also serves as the Curator of the collection of plaster casts of Greek and Roman statues and reliefs held by the Ashmolean Museum. The professor may put on exhibitions from time to time, and promotes and organises its use by the Classics Faculty and by others for instruction in classical art.
The closing date for applications is 12:00 noon UK time on Monday 13 January 2025. Interviews are expected to be held in late February or early March. Informal enquiries are welcome and may be made in strict confidence to Professor Llewelyn Morgan, Chair of the Classics Faculty Board (llewelyn.morgan@bnc.ox.ac.uk).
