Classics is expanding its range, embracing the whole of ancient Mediterranean culture and all that Classics has meant to the world since antiquity. To enable us to take advantage of the opportunities that this expansion offers, we need to increase our funded positions for teaching and research to address the full sweep of the Classical world.
New lectureships will allow us to attract talented researchers working over the whole range of Classics, capturing for Cambridge their energies and ideas in teaching and research.
- A gift of £1 million will fund a University Lectureship for 10 years
- A gift of £2.5 million will endow a named Lectureship permanently
We are currently fundraising for an endowed University lectureship, held jointly with Newnham College. College teaching is central to a Cambridge education and Newnham continues at the forefront of ensuring that there are equal opportunities for women at every level. This new post will guarantee that the great Classical tradition at Newnham is upheld and allow the Faculty a chance to expand the range of its coverage.
