Directorship of the British School at Rome to be appointed in succession to Professor Andrew Wallace-Hadrill

Questa informativa riguarda ovviamente laureati e docenti con diversi anni di servizio, nonché in possesso di particolari requisiti in considerazione della delicatezza e importanza dell'incarico offerto dalla British School di Roma. Inutile aggiungere che il possesso della lingua inglese è un must imprescindibile. Quindi i giovani sono esclusi in partenza da un incarico del genere, ma sono convinto che non manchino in Italia, oppure residenti all'estero, docenti e laureati che abbiano i requisiti richiesti dalla direzione di questa prestigiosa istituzione. E' il motivo per cui mi sono premurato di dare pubblicità alla cosa.

Non essendo stata attivata tuttora il modulo per le newsletter, sono costretto a impostare questo annuncio come un normale intervento. Non me ne vogliano gli amici se, data la particolarità dell’annuncio, ho ripiegato su un escamotage, che spero sia utile a chi abbia i requisiti compatibili con l’incarico e sia desideroso di affrontare una esperienza senza alcun dubbio ricca di soddisfazioni non soltanto economiche, ma anche e soprattutto culturali.
