The Department of History at New Mexico State University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in ancient history, beginning in August 2025. We especially welcome applications from candidates whose expertise could include the histories of ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt.

Faculty members in the Department of History at NMSU are dedicated researchers and teachers eager to work with students in introductory surveys, upper-level undergraduate courses, and graduate seminars in our MA program. Standard duties for academic-year (9-month) faculty include maintaining a strong research program; teaching three courses per semester, including at least one General Education World History I survey course per semester as well as additional undergraduate courses and graduate seminars; mentoring undergraduate and graduate students, including training graduate students and advising MA theses; and providing service to the Department, College, and University.

A PhD in History, Classics, or Classical Archaeology is required prior to appointment. ABD candidates may apply, however, the PhD must be in hand by August 2025.
