Open-rank Position in the History of the Modern Life Sciences
University of Missouri - Columbia, History
The Department of History at the University of Missouri, Columbia, is seeking to fill an open-rank, tenured/tenure-track position in the history of the modern life sciences
(i.e., from c. 1850 to the present) within any sub-field. Applicants
must have a degree in History, History of Science, or a closely allied
discipline. Whoever fills this position will be a full-time member of
the History Department and will also be affiliated with the Christopher
S. Bond Life Sciences Center as a resident historian. We are seeking
candidates with a compelling research agenda and a strong commitment to
building networks among disciplines. Existing initiatives in which s/he
could participate include a science studies research group, an
evolutionary studies research group, and a teaching certificate in the
Life Sciences & Society Program. S/he is also expected to develop
innovative projects along interdisciplinary lines. As a result, the
normal 2-2 course-load in the History Department will be reduced by one.
Two courses are open to his/her discretion. The third will be an
annual historical survey of the modern life sciences that addresses
social and cultural implications.
Please submit letter of application describing research and teaching
interests, an article-length writing sample, and c.v. online at http://hrs.missouri.edu/find-a-job/academic.
These items should be attached in the Resume/CV & Cover Letter or
