The University of South Carolina seeks a tenure-track Assistant

Scientific Technologies for a tenure home in either the Department of  
History or the Department of Philosophy, with a possible joint  
appointment. The area of scholarly expertise we seek is in either the  
history or philosophy of contemporary science or technology, with the  
geographical focus open. We expect the appointment to begin in Fall  
2008. The successful candidate’s research and teaching interests will  
complement the University’s emphases on the societal interactions of  
emerging technologies, and, more generally, the history and philosophy  
of science, technology, engineering, medicine, and the environment.  
Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the physical, life  
or engineering sciences, the commercialization and globalization of  
science, science and technology policy, ethical issues in science and  
technology, the public history of science, ethnographic or lab  
studies, visual representation in science, or computer simulations.  
Viable Candidates will be able to teach courses in either history or  
philosophy of science or technology, as well as serve other  
departmental teaching needs as appropriate.
Many opportunities exist at USC for interdisciplinary cooperation. The  
nanoScience and Technology Studies research group has faculty and  
graduate student members from over a dozen different departments,  
including History, Philosophy, English, Art, Journalism, Chemistry,  
Physics, Biology, Medicine, and Mechanical, Civil and Environmental  
Engineering. The person hired into this position will have the  
opportunity to help with the development of an institutional focus on  
the study of emerging technologies.
The successful candidate will demonstrate a commitment to excellence  
in both research and teaching, and will have the Ph.D. in a relevant  
discipline (including interdisciplinary science studies programs) at  
the time of appointment. ABD will be considered. Deadline for receipt  
of applications is December 3, 2007.
