"We are looking for a motivated, dynamic colleague with a broad view on classical studies to strengthen our education and research capacity in later Latin literature (medieval and/or early modern period). At Ghent University, the study of Latin literature, alongside Ancient Greek and several modern European languages and literatures, is housed within the department of Literary Studies. We teach Latin literature from the classical period through late antiquity to the Middle Ages, the humanist period and the later periods. Ghent’s thriving Latin studies are part of the departments of Literary Studies, History, Linguistics, Philosophy and Moral Sciences, and Archaeology. Four research groups are actively cooperating in various specialisations: GIKS (Classical Studies), GCLA (Late Antiquity), Henri Pirenne Institute (Medieval Studies) and GEMS (Early Modern Studies)."

"The position, funded by the Special Research Fund, is granted the privilege of focusing primarily on research for a period of 5 years. During that period the teaching load will be limited to no more than 8 ECTS credits per semester on average over a period of 3 years."
