University of London - School of Advanced Study
The Warburg Institute occupies a unique place in European intellectual life. It is dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of the classical tradition, exploring the abiding influence of the ancient world on the art, thought, literature, religion and social customs of Europe and the Near East. It comprises a Library, a Photographic Collection and an Archive, and offers a programme of public lectures, seminars and colloquia, distinguished in-house research and an innovative programme of postgraduate teaching. It is a member-Institute of the University of London's School of Advanced Study.
Applications for the post of Director are invited from scholars of international standing in areas of study relevant to the Institute. Alongside an excellent record of research and publications, the Director will bring vision along with the ability to provide strong academic and organisational leadership and will develop the Institute's national role by sustaining and forging productive links with a national and international community of scholars.
