Open-ranked search in the history of science
2007-2008

Pending budgetary approval, the Department of the History of Science at
Harvard University is conducting an open-rank search in the 20th-century
(and especially post-WWII) history of molecular biology, biotechnology,
and/or the biomedical sciences.  Candidates who work at the interface of
history of science and related fields such as sociology and anthropology
are also welcome to apply. A strong doctoral record is required and the
Department is especially interested in candidates at earlier stages of
their careers, with exceptional promise as scholars, teachers and
mentors, and able to offer courses at the undergraduate and graduate
levels.  The appointment is expected to begin on July 1, 2008.
Applications should include a c.v., a brief outline of present scholarly
projects and future plans, a brief statement of teaching experience and
approach, and at least three letters of recommendation. We also
encourage candidates to submit a sample of recent publications or
writings and external teaching evaluations, if available.  Please
address application materials to Professor Peter Galison, c/o Judith
Lajoie, Department of the History of Science, Harvard University,
Science Center 371, 1 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, U.S.A. Harvard
is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer, and welcomes
applications from women and members of minority groups.  Application
deadline is December 1, 2007.
