The University of Chicago’s Committee on Conceptual and Historical
Studies of Science invites applications for a position as Instructor
beginning September 1, 2023, for a two-year nonrenewable term.

This is a research and teaching post-doctoral position, requiring two
courses be taught in the academic year; Chicago is on the quarter
system, with three terms to the academic year. The courses the
instructor would offer each year would probably be one self-designed
course in their field of interest and a second taught within our
“Science, Culture, and Society” core sequence. This second course
would deal with the Ancient period and perhaps the Middle Ages. (Details
of courses currently offered in the SCS sequence are available at:
https://chss.uchicago.edu/content/civilization-core-sequence-courses.)
Chicago’s programs are quite interdisciplinary, and candidates should
be ready to interact with faculty and students from an array of
different specialties.

Qualifications

Applicants should have received a PhD by April 1, 2023 and within the
last five years. They should not already hold a tenure-track position.
Expertise should be in the area of History of Science. Applications are
welcome from scholars specializing in any period and area, though we
have a particular interest in candidates with a focus on ancient and
medieval sciences.

Application Instructions

Applicants must apply online at apply.interfolio.com/112795 .
Please submit: (1) a cover letter; (2) a CV; (3) two letters of
recommendation; (4) a teaching statement; (5) research statement; (6) a
syllabus for a proposed course; (7) course evaluations or other evidence
of past teaching performance (if available); (8) a writing sample (or
samples) of no more than 30 pages in total length. Review of
applications will begin on October 1, 2022 and will continue until the
position is filled or the search has ended.
