Tenure-Track Assistant Professor of Classical Studies

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No filler. Must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Position: tenure-track Assistant Professor in Latin literature and Roman culture, start 2027-28 academic year. - Department: Classical Studies, University of Pennsylvania, School of Arts and Sciences. - Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. - Teaching load: four courses per year, one typically graduate level. - PhD must be completed by July 1, 2027. - Candidate must be excellent teacher, commitment to pedagogy and mentorship. - Department offers undergraduate majors/minors in three tracks of Classical Studies plus Ancient History; undergraduate courses introduce non-majors. - Will work with PhD program in Greek and Latin Languages and Literatures, potentially graduate students in cognate programs. - Many faculty teach/advises in Postbaccalaureate Program in Classical Studies. - Department committed to responsible/creative research and teaching, interdisciplinary approach, inclusive excellence. - Resources: Penn Museum, Center for Ancient Studies, Wolf Humanities Center. - Tradition of shared governance, leadership in professional orgs. - School of Arts and Sciences composition. - Interdisciplinary research supported by breadth/depth, proximity of resources on contiguous green urban campus. - Campus resources supporting mission: offices of Vice Provost for Faculty and Vice Provost for Research, Penn Global, Wellness at Penn, Center for Teaching and Learning, Penn Center for Undergraduate Research and Fellowships, Penn Human Resources. - Application materials: cover letter, CV, writing sample <=30 pages, three referees, teaching statement 1-2 pages, research statement 1-2 pages. - Review begins Oct 15, 2026, continues until filled. - May request further materials from short-listed. - Expect first-round interviews over Zoom, then small number of in-person campus visits. - Contact: department coordinator Sarah Gish-Kraus, gishkrau@sas.upenn.edu; chair Prof. James Ker, jker@sas.upenn.edu. No explicit Pay, Benefits, Schedule beyond teaching load (four courses per year). Schedule maybe teaching load? Could be considered schedule? The instruction: include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It states teaching load: four courses per year, one typically graduate level. That's schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section with that detail. Benefits: Not explicitly stated. No mention of salary, benefits, health, retirement. So we should not include Benefits or Pay sections. Qualifications: Could include PhD completion date, teaching excellence, ability to teach Latin language and literature at all levels, provide Classical Studies courses appealing to wide range, ability to collaborate, etc. Also mention that candidate must have completed PhD by July 1, 2027. Also mention that candidate must be excellent teacher with commitment to pedagogy and mentorship. Also mention that candidate will contribute to reimagining field via scholarship, teaching, public engagement. Also mention that candidate will have original and generative research projects. Requirements: Could be similar to qualifications. But we need to decide which sections to include. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine some. Perhaps we have sections: About the role (description of position, start date, department), Responsibilities (teaching load, teaching Latin language/literature at all levels, graduate teaching, mentorship, advising, collaboration, public engagement), Requirements/Qualifications (PhD by date, teaching excellence, research agenda, ability to collaborate, etc.), Skills (maybe not needed if covered). Could also have a section for Application Process? Not in list. So we stick to allowed headings. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder text. Thus produce:

Maybe also

Qualifications

but could be redundant. Choose either Requirements or Qualifications. The posting mentions qualifications: PhD completed by July 1, 2027; excellent teacher; commitment to pedagogy and mentorship; ability to teach Latin language and literature at all levels; provide Classical Studies courses appealing to wide range; collaborate productively with colleagues within and beyond department; original and generative research projects; readiness to teach Latin language and literature at all levels and provide Classical Studies courses that appeal to a wide range of students; ability to collaborate productively with colleagues both in and beyond the department. Also mention that candidate will work with PhD program etc. That could be responsibilities. We could split: Responsibilities: teaching duties (four courses per year, one graduate level, teach Latin language/literature at all levels, provide Classical Studies courses appealing to wide range, work with PhD program, advise graduate students, contribute to public engagement, collaborate with colleagues). Requirements/Qualifications: PhD by date, evidence of excellent teaching, commitment to pedagogy and mentorship, original research agenda, ability to collaborate, etc. We'll not include Skills unless we have specific skills like Latin language expertise, etc. Could include but maybe thin. Better to have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements. That's three sections. Now craft content preserving all substantive info. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading like "Assistant Professor". Good. We need to include location? Could be in About the role. Let's draft. About the role: The Department of Classical Studies at the University of Pennsylvania invites applications for a tenure-track position in Latin literature and Roman culture at the rank of Assistant Professor to begin in the 2027–28 academic year. Located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, within the School of Arts and Sciences. The position seeks a colleague who will contribute to reimagining the field through scholarship, teaching, and public engagement. Responsibilities: Teaching load of four courses per year, with one typically at the graduate level; teach Latin language and literature at all levels; offer Classical Studies courses that appeal to a wide range of students; work with students in the PhD program in Greek and Latin Languages and Literatures and potentially with graduate students in cognate programs (Ancient History, Art and Archaeology of the Mediterranean World, Comparative Literature); advise and teach in the Postbaccalaureate Program in Classical Studies; engage in public outreach and interdisciplinary collaboration; contribute to departmental governance and service. Requirements: PhD must be completed by July 1, 2027; demonstrated excellence in teaching with a commitment to pedagogy and mentorship of students across all programs; an original and generative research agenda in Latin literature and Roman culture; ability to collaborate productively with colleagues within the department and across related fields; readiness to engage in public scholarship and interdisciplinary initiatives. We could also mention that the department offers undergraduate majors/minors etc. That could be part of About the role or Responsibilities. Might fit in About the role as context. Let's incorporate that: The department offers undergraduate majors and minors in three tracks of Classical Studies as well as Ancient History, and undergraduate courses introduce non-majors to diverse subject areas. Add to About the role. Also mention resources: Penn Museum, Center for Ancient Studies, Wolf Humanities Center; campus resources like Vice Provost offices, Penn Global, Wellness at Penn, Center for Teaching and Learning, Penn Center for Undergraduate Research and Fellowships, Penn Human Resources. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section Resources but not in allowed headings. Could fold into About the role. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to preserve all substantive info. That means we need to include all those details. Let's list them: - Position: tenure-track Assistant Professor in Latin literature and Roman culture, start 2027-28. - Department: Classical Studies, School of Arts and Sciences, University of Pennsylvania. - Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. - Teaching load: four courses per year, one typically graduate level. - PhD must be completed by July 1, 2027. - Candidate must be excellent teacher with commitment to pedagogy and mentorship. - Department offers undergraduate majors/minors in three tracks of Classical Studies plus Ancient History; undergraduate courses introduce non-majors to wide range of subject areas. - Will work with PhD program in Greek and Latin Languages and Literatures and potentially graduate students in cognate programs (Ancient History, Art and Archaeology of the Mediterranean World, Comparative Literature). - Many faculty also teach and advise students in Penn’s Postbaccalaureate Program in Classical Studies. - Department committed to responsible and creative research and teaching, interdisciplinary approach, inclusive excellence fostering intellectual engagement inside/outside academy and across departmental boundaries. - Resources: Penn Museum, Center for Ancient Studies, Wolf Humanities Center. - Tradition of shared governance, leadership in professional orgs (Society for Classical Studies, Archaeological Institute of America). - School of Arts and Sciences comprised of College of Arts and Sciences, Graduate Division, College of Liberal and Professional Studies. - Interdisciplinary research supported by breadth/depth of academic pursuits at Penn and proximity of resources on contiguous green urban campus in Philadelphia. - Campus resources supporting mission: offices of Vice Provost for Faculty and Vice Provost for Research, Penn Global, Wellness at Penn, Center for Teaching and Learning, Penn Center for Undergraduate Research and Fellowships, Penn Human Resources. - Application materials: cover letter, CV, writing sample ≤30 pages, three referees, teaching statement 1-2 pages, research statement 1-2 pages. - Review begins Oct 15, 2026, continues until filled. - May request further materials from short-listed. - Expect first-round interviews over Zoom, then small number of in-person campus visits. - Contact: Sarah Gish-Kraus (gishkrau@sas.upenn.edu), Prof. James Ker (jker@sas.upenn.edu). We need to include all that in HTML. Avoid boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present. We need to decide where to put each piece. About the role: could include position, department, location, start date, mission (reimagining field), overview of department offerings (undergraduate majors/minors, resources, interdisciplinary environment, campus resources). Could be long but okay. Responsibilities: teaching load, teaching Latin language/literature at all levels, offering courses appealing to wide range, working with PhD and cognate graduate students, advising in Postbaccalaureate program, public engagement, collaboration, service/governance. Requirements: PhD completion date, teaching excellence and mentorship commitment, original research agenda, ability to collaborate, readiness for public scholarship, etc. We could also include Application process as a separate section? Not allowed headings. Could put under About the role or Responsibilities? Probably not. But we need to preserve all substantive info; we could include a section like "Application Process" but not in allowed headings. The instruction says use headings only from the list. So we cannot create a heading like Application Process. We could embed that info in a paragraph under About the role or Responsibilities? It might be awkward but permissible. However, we need to preserve all substantive info; we can put it in a

under About the role after describing the role. That seems okay. We must not create sections with filler. So we will have three sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements. Now craft HTML. We need to ensure we use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For responsibilities and requirements we should use lists. Prose for paragraphs. Let's draft. About the role paragraph(s): Could be multiple

  tags. We'll include:
