Further Details of the Post of Assistant Director, British School at Athens

The British School at Athens (an institute for advanced research in the Humanities and Social Sciences, located in Greece) seeks a full-time Assistant Director to take charge of its teaching programme and communications, conduct original research, contribute to its fundraising programme, and oversee the security and maintenance of its Athens premises. The appointment is for a fixed term of 5 years. You will have completed a doctorate and have defined an original research project which can be completed while in post in Athens. Residence in Athens is a requirement (rent-free housing is provided on-site).
The Assistant Director is the BSA's second-ranking officer who may officially represent the institution at the request of the Director, and who takes charge of the daily running of the School when the Director is absent from Greece, working closely with colleagues from other Greek and foreign institutions. You will be capable of combining academic research and managerial tasks in a flexible manner.
