We offer the inspiration, they achieve the outstanding. We invite you to join them.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">Applications are particularly welcome from women and black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in the University. We are committed to equality: if for any reason you have taken a career break or periods of leave that may have impacted on the volume and recency of research outputs, such as maternity, adoption or parental leave, you may wish to disclose this in your application. The selection committee will recognise that this may have reduced the quantity of your research accordingly.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">Durham University’s Athena Swan institutional award recognises and celebrates good practice in recruiting and supporting the development of women.

Those whose most recent teaching experience is in schools rather than universities are welcome to apply for this post.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">This post offers an exciting opportunity to make a contribution to the development of the Department of Classics and Ancient History's teaching and curriculum, while allowing you unrivalled opportunities to progress and embed your career in an exciting and progressive institution. The successful candidate will be enthusiastic about teaching modules with a strong linguistic focus, across the range of language modules offered by the Department: Beginners’ Undergraduate modules; Intermediate level classes aimed at consolidating language learning and skills typically gained at A level or equivalent, and enabling students to read texts independently; Advanced and Higher reading classes, centred around close reading, including both literary and linguistic analysis, of texts in the original; and Master’s level modules, which equip those MA students who have no prior experience of studying the ancient languages with the skills to read, independently, Latin and/or Greek for research purposes. We are keen to appoint a candidate with an active interest in the pedagogy of language teaching, who teaches languages in a way that is rigorous, innovative, and appealing to students.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">You will be expected to engage in scholarship related to pedagogy, noting that any other independent research (beyond pedagogy) is not part of this post.
