Post-Doctoral Fellowship, Science In Human Culture Program, Northwestern University
The Science in Human Culture Program (SHC) at Northwestern University invites applications for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in the contextual study of science, technology, and medicine to run September 2010 - August 2012. Applications are welcome from scholars who received their Ph.D. in the last five years and who study science from historical, philosophical, sociological, anthropological, or literary perspectives. Each fellow will be affiliated with both the SHC program and an appropriate disciplinary department (History, Sociology, Philosophy, etc). Fellows will pursue a program of independent scholarship and teach two one-quarter courses each year: a seminar and a lecture course. They will also help organize the SHC faculty seminar series. Applicants must have completed all the requirements for the Ph.D. before beginning their fellowship. The annual stipend is $42,000, plus $3,100 per year to fund research and conference travel.

- a cover letter and full curriculum vitae
- a four-page fellowship proposal
- a writing sample consisting of either a dissertation chapter or published paper
- graduate school transcripts (in paper form only)
They should also arrange to have three letters of recommendation, at least one commenting on teaching qualifications, sent directly to the office in paper form.
