Description

The Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (ISAW) is a center for advanced scholarly research and graduate education, which aims to encourage particularly the study of the economic, religious, political and cultural connections between ancient civilizations. In an effort to embrace a truly inclusive geographical scope while maintaining continuity and coherence, the Institute focuses on the shared and overlapping periods in the development of cultures and civilizations around the Mediterranean basin, and across central Asia to the Pacific Ocean. The approaches of anthropology, archaeology, geography, geology, history, economics, sociology, art history, digital humanities, and the history of science and technology are as integral to the enterprise as the study of texts, philosophy, and the analysis of artifacts.

ISAW anticipates appointing two two-year Visiting Assistant Professors with a start-date of September 1, 2022. Holders of these positions are appointed as faculty and will undertake research projects connected with ISAW’s core academic mission, teach a graduate-level research seminar at ISAW, and teach one undergraduate course in an NYU department each academic year. They are expected to be in residence at the Institute during the period for which they are appointed and to take part in the intellectual life of the community. In addition, Visiting Assistant Professors are expected to participate in ISAW seminars, to give a public lecture on their research at ISAW, and to play an active role in mentoring graduate students.

Applicants should be individuals of scholarly distinction or promise in any relevant field of ancient studies who will benefit from the stimulation of working in an environment with colleagues in other disciplines. Scholars with a history of interdisciplinary exchange and scholars whose academic interests include parts of the ancient Old World that are often underrepresented in traditional academic departments, including Africa, Central Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, are especially welcome and encouraged to apply.

Visiting Assistant Professors at ISAW have access to the Institute’s own library, as well as to a wide range of other libraries at NYU, The Metropolitan Museum of Art (located a block away), and other institutions in New York City, including Columbia University and the New York Public Library. They are provided with their own carrel workspace.

Visiting Assistant Professors are paid a fixed salary. In 2021-22 the salary was $75,768. A research account is also provided to defray the cost of travel to conferences and other research expenses.

Qualifications

Visiting Assistant Professorships are reserved for early-career scholars who received their PhDs on or after May 1, 2019. Current doctoral students in their final year of dissertation work are also welcome to apply, but please note that official conferral of the PhD must take place prior to the start-date of the position (September 1, 2022).

NOTE: Applicants for ISAW Visiting Assistant Professorships are automatically considered for one-year funded Visiting Research Scholar positions. Please do NOT apply for both positions.
