The Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations (NELC) at Harvard University seeks to appoint a tenure-track professor in Assyriology. The appointment is expected to begin on July 1, 2023.

We expect the successful candidate to engage in interdisciplinary collaboration within and beyond the NELC Department, with scholars from but not limited to Anthropology, Comparative Literature, Classics, History of Art and Architecture, Religion, or the Ancient Studies Program, to establish regional and international collaboration, and to participate in proposals for cooperative research projects. We value candidates whose experience in teaching, research, and community service has demonstrated a strong commitment to diversity and excellence. Groups traditionally underrepresented in Assyriology are especially encouraged to apply. Doctorate or terminal degree in Assyriology or related discipline required by the time the appointment begins. The candidate will offer language and literature courses, undergraduate historical surveys, and doctoral seminars. Demonstrated strong commitment to teaching and advising is desired. The ability to contribute to Digital Humanities for the ancient Near/Middle East is a plus.
