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 2009 - August 2011. We seek applicants in the history of science, the philosophy of science, and the sociology/anthropology of science. 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, with an allowance for moving expenses, plus $3,100 per year to fund research and conference travel.

Applicants should send the following materials directly to the SHC office in both paper and electronic form:

1) a cover letter and full curriculum vitae

2) a four-page fellowship proposal

3) a writing sample consisting of either a dissertation chapter or published paper

4) graduate school transcripts.

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.
