They will be expected to contribute actively and positively to the ANU Centre for Classical Studies, the School and the College, in all areas of research, teaching and service. They will actively contribute to undergraduate teaching and to the supervision of Honours theses, and will conduct research of international standing, publishing in the peer reviewed literature. They will contribute to curriculum review to renew areas of strength around Ancient Worlds and Cultures, ensuring excellence in education, best-practice teaching, and compelling, cutting-edge majors. The appointees should be active in professional service within the Centre for Classical Studies (including in relation to the Classics museum and the wider Classics community), within SLLL and the university, and nationally and internationally in their respective disciplines.
