Christendom College: one-year position in Classics for 2006-2007

This is a tangential connection, but when it comes from Albert the Great and Thomas Aquinas scholar, Steve Snyder, how could I refuse? Here is what he wrote:

Christendom College is advertising a one-year position in Classics for 2006-2007. The description of the position is attached. We would be very grateful if you would post the ad in your departments and call it to the attention of qualified individuals you might know. As you will see, we will do a national search for a full-time, continuing position the following year. For the 06-07 one-year position, an M.A. in Classics, or equivalent competency in Latin or Greek, is sufficient. Please emphasize to any you contact personally that enthusiastic agreement with the College’s mission statement (on the web) is a sine qua non in all Christendom hiring.

Thank you for your help. Christendom students are a delight to teach, and the faculty, administration, and chaplains are congenial and without exception mutually supportive.

Thanks once again for any help you are able to give!

Steve attached a file with the specifics of job-posting, which I’ve converted to a PDF file.
