The Program in Indo-European Studies and the Department of Classics at the
University of California, Los Angeles, have been authorized to make an
appointment to a full-time position in Classical linguistics and Classical
(=Ancient Greek and Latin) literature and culture at open rank (Assistant
[tenure-track], Associate/Full Professor [with tenure]), effective July 1,
2024. We invite applications from scholars with philological and linguistic
expertise in Classical and Indo-European linguistics and significant
professional engagement with Classical literature and culture. The
successful candidate will be able to offer courses in both Greek and Italic
historical and comparative linguistics and in core Indo-European
linguistics as well as in Classical literature and culture (specialty

interdisciplinary academic units such as the Institute for the Study of
Global Antiquity, the Pourdavoud Center for the Study of the Iranian World,
the Center for the Study of Religion, and the Program in Digital Humanities.

Ph.D. is required before the date of appointment. Candidates should have an
outstanding record in research and teaching; entry-level candidates (for
hiring at the rank of Assistant Professor) should show great potential for
outstanding research and teaching. Candidates should also demonstrate a
commitment to student mentoring/advising and to teaching at both the
undergraduate and graduate levels. We welcome candidates whose experience
in teaching, research, or community service has prepared them to contribute
to our commitment to diversity and excellence.
Applications should include the items listed below and be submitted by
November 3, 2023, in order to receive full consideration:

• Letter of application, including a detailed research statement
• Current curriculum vitae
• Names and contact information for three recommenders
• Course evaluations and/or other material bearing on teaching effectiveness
• A representative article-length publication or dissertation chapter (or
excerpted chapter) of similar length

will request letters of reference and additional materials, such as further
samples of scholarly work and sample course syllabi.

The posted UC salary scales set the minimum pay determined by rank and/or
step at appointment. See Table 1. The salary range for this position is
from $74,600 (Assistant Professor I) to $197,100 (Professor IX). “Off-scale
salaries” and other components of pay, i.e., a salary that is higher than
the published system-wide salary at the designated rank and step, are
offered when necessary to meet competitive conditions. See campus
compensation page for additional information.

The University of California is committed to creating and maintaining a
community dedicated to the advancement, application, and transmission of
knowledge and creative endeavors through academic excellence, where all
individuals who participate in University programs and activities can work
and learn together in a safe and secure environment, free of violence,
harassment, bullying and other demeaning behavior, discrimination,
exploitation, or intimidation. With this commitment as well as a commitment
to addressing all forms of academic misconduct, UCLA conducts targeted
employment reference checks for finalists to whom departments or other
hiring units would like to extend formal offers of appointment into
Academic Senate faculty positions. The targeted employment reference checks
involve contacting the finalists’ current and prior places of employment to
ask whether there have been substantiated findings of misconduct that would
violate the University’s Faculty Code of Conduct. To implement this
process, UCLA requires all applicants for Academic Senate faculty positions
to complete, sign, and upload the form entitled “Authorization to Release
Information” into RECRUIT as part of their application. If the applicant
does not include the signed authorization to release information with the
application materials, the application will be considered incomplete. As
with any incomplete application, the application will not receive further
consideration. Although all applicants for faculty recruitments must
complete the entire application, only finalists (i.e., those to whom the
department or other hiring unit would like to extend a formal offer)
considered for Academic Senate faculty positions will be subject to
targeted employment reference checks.

UCLA offers an excellent package of benefits, including domestic partner
benefits; it also has a number of programs to assist faculty in career
development and the balance of work and family obligations.

As a University employee, you will be required to comply with all
applicable University policies and/or collective bargaining agreements, as
may be amended from time to time. Federal, state, or local government
directives may impose additional requirements.
The University of California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for
employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age or protected
veteran status. For the complete University of California nondiscrimination
and affirmative action policy, see: UC Nondiscrimination & Affirmative
Action Policy (http://policy.ucop.edu/doc/4000376/NondiscrimAffirmAct)
