BACKGROUND
Classical Archaeology at Oxford
Oxford has a long tradition in the study of Classical art and archaeology, and the Faculty
welcomes and encourages applications from scholars interested in all aspects of the subject.
There are currently five other Classical archaeology posts in the Faculty of Classics, whose
existing holders have diverse interests in ancient art and material culture across a wide range
of periods and regions: (1) the Lincoln Professor of Classical Archaeology and Art (Prof.
R.R.R. Smith, who specialises in the art and archaeology of the later Greek and Roman
periods in the eastern Mediterranean); (2) the Professor of the Archaeology of the Roman
Empire (Prof. A.I. Wilson, who specialises in the archaeology of Roman technology and the
Roman economy); (3) the Reader in Classical Archaeology (Prof. I. Lemos, whose interests
centre in the archaeology of Greece from the end of the Bronze Age into the Early Iron Age);
(4) University Lecturer in Roman Archaeology (Dr. J. DeLaine, a specialist in Roman
architecture and building practices); (5) University Lecturer in Classical Art and Archaeology
1
(Dr. M. Stamatopoulou, who specialises in the archaeology of northern Greece and
Macedonia, from the Archaic to the Hellenistic periods). (6) University Lecturer in Classical
Art and Archaeology and Director of the Classical Art Research Centre (Dr P.N.C. Stewart,
who specialises in Greek and Roman art and Roman provincial art). In addition, there is a
University Lecturer in Aegean Prehistory (Dr. L. Bendall, a specialist in Bronze Age
archaeology and Aegean scripts) whose post is shared equally between Classics and
Archaeology and a Lecturer in Classical Art (Thomas Mannack, a specialist in Greek painted
pottery) whose duties are divided between research for the Beazley Archive and teaching for
the Classics Faculty.
Like the other posts (with the exception of the Lecturer in Aegean Prehistory), the Haynes
Lecturership advertised and described here will sit within the Faculty of Classics, where the
Lecturer will be a member of its Sub-faculty of Ancient History and Classical Archaeology.
The Faculty’s classical archaeologists also have strong and close relations both with the
School of Archaeology, of which the Haynes Lecturer will also be a member, and with the
Ashmolean Museum.
Options in classical art and archaeology are taken by undergraduates studying principally for
the Faculty’s principal BA degree course, Literae Humaniores (‘Mods’ and ‘Greats’), and for
the more recently established course, Classical Archaeology and Ancient History. The
Haynes Lecturer will be closely involved with both courses. At the graduate level, Classical
Archaeology is taught in a one-year and a two-year Masters programmes, the MSt and MPhil
in Classical Archaeology, and there is a thriving body of research students studying for the
DPhil in Classical Archaeology. The Lecturer is expected to play an active role in recruitment
for and delivery of these degrees. Further details of courses and teaching are given below,
under ‘Description of the Post’, and the full range of subjects offered can be found in
Examination Regulations, at: http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/examregs/contents.shtml
Classics at Oxford
The Classics Faculty incorporates the two Sub-faculties of Greek and Latin Languages and
Literature and of Ancient History and Classical Archaeology and currently has 55
postholders. The appointee will be a member of the Sub-Faculty of Ancient History and
Classical Archaeology. The Faculty has seven established chairs: the Regius Chair of Greek
(C.B.R. Pelling), the Corpus Christi Professorship of Latin Language and Literature (T.
Reinhardt), the Camden Professorship of Ancient History (N. Purcell), the Wykeham
Professorship of Ancient History (R.C.T. Parker), the Lincoln Professorship of Classical
Archaeology and Art (R.R.R. Smith), the Professorship of the Archaeology of the Roman
Empire (A.I. Wilson), and the Diebold Professorship of Comparative Philology (A.J. Willi).
Many of the Faculty’s ancient historians have strong interests in classical art and
archaeology. Details of the Faculty's postholders and its other members are given under
‘Faculty’ at: http://www.classics.ox.ac.uk/
Like other humanities faculties in Oxford, the Classics Faculty is not departmentally
organised at the undergraduate level. The colleges, which control undergraduate admissions
and tutorial teaching, admit about 120 undergraduates each year to read for Classical Honour
Moderations and the Honour School of Literae Humaniores ('Mods and Greats', a 4-year
course), 24 each year for Classical Archaeology and Ancient History, about 25 each year for
Ancient and Modern History, and a combined total of about 25 each year for Classics and
English, and Classics and Modern Languages. The Sub-Faculty of Ancient History and
Classical Archaeology and the Classics Faculty Board are responsible for devising the
syllabus in the relevant areas for all these courses, for appointing examiners, and for
2
providing lectures and classes to complement the tutorials: a lecture-list committee oversees
these and tries to marry lecturing needs with lecturers’ expertise. The Sub-Faculty meets at
least once a term in order to discuss issues of common concern, such as syllabus reform;
these meetings are regularly preceded by joint meetings with the Sub-Faculty of Languages
and Literature.
A skeleton outline of the undergraduate courses is available on the Faculty’s website at
http://www.classics.ox.ac.uk; follow the links for Admissions: undergraduate: courses. (And
see further below, under ‘Description of the Post’). Full details are in Examination
Regulations: http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/examregs/contents.shtml
The Faculty Board controls the admission and supervision of graduate students through its
Graduate Studies Committees. There are currently about 75 graduate students in Ancient
History and about 75 in Classical Archaeology (the latter are admitted though the Graduate
Studies Committee of the School of Archaeology) reading for higher degrees (the M.Litt. and
D.Phil. by thesis; the M.St. and M.Phil. which are normally a mixture of thesis and taught
course). Full details of the syllabus for each course are available at the appropriate place in
the University’s Examination Regulations 2011. Photocopies of the relevant pages can be
supplied on request.
Most of the activities of Classics are based in colleges, but there are a number of central foci:
in particular the new Ioannou Centre for Classical and Byzantine Studies, at 66 St Giles’.
This houses the Classics Office, a number of Classics research projects, Byzantine Studies,
the Classics Language teaching staff, the Faculty's IT Officer and Research Administrator,
and includes facilities for graduates and a number of seminar and teaching rooms. Other
central foci include the Bodleian Library; the recently-built Sackler Library; and the
Ashmolean Museum.
The Haynes Lecturer will have an office in the Classics Centre. The Centre provides various
facilities, including a lecture room, seminar rooms, common room and computer room. It acts
as a focal point for staff and graduate students in all aspects of Classical studies.
Archaeology at Oxford
The School of Archaeology is an interfaculty and interdivisional body that brings together the
World and European archaeologists, who have their posts in the Social Sciences Division, and
the Classical archaeologists, who have their posts in the Humanities Division. The School is
responsible for the undergraduate degree in Archaeology and Anthropology and for all graduate
archaeology degrees. The School's Graduate Studies Committee controls the admission and
supervision of graduates in Classical, European, and World Archaeology and in Archaeological
Science. The main centre for the subject is the Institute of Archaeology (Beaumont Street),
where the Professor of the Archaeology of the Roman Empire, the Lecturer in Roman
Archaeology, and other postholders have their offices. Other foci of activity are: the Ashmolean
Museum (Beaumont Street), the Cast Gallery (Pusey Place), the Sackler Library (St John's
Street), the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and Art History (Keble Road), and the Pitt
Rivers Museum (South Parks Road). A wide range of archaeological activities are based in
these centres, and the range of archaeological subjects taught and researched in the University
that they represent can be explored most easily from the web page of the School of
Archaeology: http://www.arch.ox.ac.uk. The Institute of Archaeology provides various facilities,
including a lecture room, seminar room, common room, drawing office, photographic studio,
and computer room. It acts as a focal point for all staff and graduate students in archaeology.

Research activity
The University’s submission for the 2007 Research Assessment Exercise secured a 4*
grading both for Classics and for Archaeology.
In Classics research covers a wide range of different topics and approaches. The primary goal
is to foster first-class research (supported by excellent library and IT resources) over the
whole range of literature, history, archaeology, and art in antiquity: research and research
strategy is considered by a Research Committee, which reports to the Faculty Board. That
Board is also able to make grants for travel for research purposes, including the organisation
of seminars and conferences. Publications by members of the Classics Faculty include
editions of literary, historical, papyrological and epigraphical texts, primary archaeological
publication, monographs on authors and genres or historical periods, work on the
constitutional, political and socio-economic history of antiquity, cultural history, reception
and performance studies, and the history of religion and art.
The Classics Faculty (sometimes sharing responsibility with other parts of the University) has
two research centres and a number of research projects, most of which are externally funded
by bodies such as the British Academy, the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the
Leverhulme Trust, and the Mellon Foundation. Collectively the projects currently employ
some 30 externally-funded researchers. The centres, which serve as an umbrella to a number
of projects, are the Beazley Archive and Classical Art Research Centre, and the Centre for the
Study of Ancient Documents. The Faculty’s research projects include the Lexicon of Greek
Personal Names, the Corpus of Greek Vase Inscriptions, the Last Statues of Antiquity, the
Roman Economy Project, the Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama,
Building an Image Bank of Inscriptions, Romano-British Writing Tablets (Vindolanda),
Script, Image and the Culture of Writing in the Ancient World, Roman Inscriptions of
Britain, Roman Provincial Coinage in the Antonine Period, the Oxyrhynchus Papyri, the
Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources and the Sphakia Survey. For a more
detailed account, see under ‘Research’ at: http://www.classics.ox.ac.uk
In Archaeology some of the main areas of research include the Paleolithic (Dr. N. Barton,
Dr. R Schulting), the Neolithic (Dr. A. Bogaard), the Aegean Bronze Age (Dr. L. Bendall,
Ms. L. Nixon), prehistory and the Early Iron Age in Europe (Prof. C. Gosden), African
prehistory (Dr P. Mitchell), Papua New Guinea (Prof. C. Gosden), Greek ceramics (Dr T.
Mannack), Greek archaeology of the Early Iron Age (Dr. I. Lemos), archaeology of northern
Greece (Dr. M. Stamatopoulou), Hellenistic and Roman art (Professor R.R.R. Smith, Dr J.
Elsner, Dr P.C.N. Stewart), Roman architecture and art (Dr. J. DeLaine), water technology
and the archaeology of the Roman economy (Prof. A.I. Wilson), Greek and Roman coins (Dr
C. Howgego, Dr H. Kim), underwater and maritime archaeology (Dr. D. Robinson), the
archaeology of late antiquity (Dr. B.R. Ward Perkins), the archaeology of early medieval
Europe (Prof. H. Hamerow, Prof. J. Blair, Dr. E. Standley), archaeological science (Prof. M.
Pollard, Prof. C. Ramsey). Oxford archaeologists are also involved in a range of field projects
in the Mediterranean, among others, at the following sites: Al-Andarin, Syria (Dr. M.
Mango); Aphrodisias, Turkey (Prof. R.R.R. Smith); Utica, Tunisia (Prof. A.I. Wilson);
Lefkandi, Greece (Prof. I. Lemos); Pichvnari, Georgia (Prof. M. Vickers); Sangro Valley,
Italy (Dr. E. Bispham); Sphakia, Crete (Ms. L. Nixon). There are strong traditional links
between Oxford archaeologists and the British School at Rome, as well as conferences,
workshops, and seminars that intersect with the field of the Haynes Lecturership. The full
range of researchers and research projects in archaeology at Oxford can be found from the
web page of the School of Archaeology, under ‘Research’ and 'People' at:

SELECTION PROCESS AND EMPLOYMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Applications for this post will be considered by a selection committee containing
representatives from both the Faculty of Classics and Somerville College. The selection
committee is responsible for conducting all aspects of the recruitment and selection process;
it does not, however, have the authority to make the final decision as to who should be
appointed. The final decision will be made by the Humanities Divisional Board and the
Governing Body of Somerville College on the basis of a recommendation made by the
selection committee. No offer of appointment will be valid, therefore, until and unless the
recommendation has been approved by both the Divisional Board and the Governing Body,
and a formal contractual offer has been made.
The successful candidate will be appointed on the Oxford lecturer scale (£42,883 - £57,581) .
Lecturers appointed below the top of this range will receive annual increments until they
reach the top point. There is also an annual ‘cost-of-living’ salary review. Faculty boards may
also, in wholly exceptional cases, propose the awarding within the scale of additional
increments to lecturers at any time during their appointment.
The combined university and college salary will be on a scale up to £57,431 per annum.
The lecturer will have the option of becoming or remaining a member of the Universities
Superannuation Scheme (USS).
Additional remuneration is currently paid to those undertaking examining and graduate
supervision. Additional payments are also available for some tutorial teaching of
undergraduates and Masters’ students. Those holding administrative appointments within the
faculty may be eligible for additional payments.
Upon completion of an initial period of appointment (which is normally five years), a
university lecturer is eligible for reappointment until retirement, subject to the provisions of
the Statutes and Regulations of the University. Evidence of lecturing competence and of
substantial progress in research are prerequisites for reappointment to the retirement.
For all academic staff the University has adopted a retirement age of 30 September before the
68th birthday. There is a procedure for requesting an extension of employment beyond that
date.
All appointments are subject to the relevant provisions of the Statutes and Regulations of the
University in force from time to time, as published from time to time in the University
Gazette.
All university lecturers, with other members of the academic staff and certain senior
academic-related staff, are normally members of Congregation, which is the University’s
ultimate governing body. Congregation’s approval is required for all university statutes or
amendments to statutes, and for major policy decisions, and the members of Congregation
constitute the electorate for ten of the members of the main executive body (the Council of
the University) and for members of a number of other university committees. Twenty or more
members of Congregation may initiate the discussion by Congregation of matters of
university policy, and any two members may ask questions about the policy or administration
of the University. The person appointed to this post will receive fuller details soon after he or
she takes up the appointment.
7
The holder of this post is eligible to apply for sabbatical leave. In general, one term of
sabbatical leave is available for each six terms of qualifying service: qualifying service is
built up on a ‘rolling’ basis, so that leave which is not taken is not lost (although qualifying
service does not accrue beyond the maximum of 18 terms). Further details are available on
request.
The University encourages links with industry and other outside bodies. Although the holding
of outside appointments such as consultancies must be approved by the head of department,
no limit as such is set on the amount of money individuals may receive in this way. The
criterion is the amount of time such appointments take up: a maximum of 30 days per annum
may be spent on such activities before any deduction in stipend is considered.
The Statutes and Regulations of the University record the extent of the University’s claims to
intellectual property, and the proportions in which exploitation revenues are shared with
researchers. Copies of the relevant extracts are available on request.
All staff participate in the University’s appraisal scheme which is currently under review.
The University has generous maternity leave arrangements. Provided that they have at least
26 weeks’ service with the University at the fifteenth week before the expected week of
childbirth, women may take up to 26 weeks’ leave on full pay, plus 13 weeks SMP, plus a
further 13 weeks unpaid leave. Arrangements are available to enable a phased return to full
duties; for women to return to work on a part-time basis after the birth of their child; and for
paternity leave. Requests for flexible working arrangements will be considered. Details are
available at http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/ps/staff/family/. Requests for flexible working
arrangements will be considered.
The University has three subsidised nurseries and also subsidises places at some local
nurseries, although at present there is a long waiting list. Somerville College provides a
nursery for the children of College employees (though it also has a waiting list). There is also
a salary sacrifice scheme whereby parents with children at university nurseries are able to
save on income tax and national insurance contributions, and a virtual voucher scheme for
parents with children not at university nurseries whereby a saving is made on national
insurance contributions. There is also a holiday playscheme for school-age children. Further
information may be obtained from the childcare website (www.admin.ox.ac.uk/eop/childcare)
or by e-mailing [email protected], or writing to Equality and Diversity, University
of Oxford, University Offices, Wellington Square, Oxford OX1 2JD.
Equality of Opportunity
The policy and practice of the University of Oxford require that all staff are offered equal
opportunities within employment. Entry into employment with the University and
progression within employment will be determined only by personal merit and the application
of criteria which are related to the duties of each particular post and the relevant salary
structure. In all cases, ability to perform the job will be the primary consideration. Subject to
statutory provisions, no applicant or member of staff will be treated less favourably than
another because of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership,
pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.
Where suitably qualified individuals are available, selection committees will contain at least
one member of each sex.
