VASSAR COLLEGE
ANDREW W. MELLON POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP
In
Science and Technology Studies
Vassar College invites applications for a two-year Mellon Postdoctoral  
Fellowship in Science and Technology Studies, to begin Fall, 2008.  
Candidates should be relatively new PhDs with teaching and research  
interests in some aspects of the increasingly complex interactions of  
science and technology and the social, economic and political world.  
We welcome applicants from a variety of disciplinary perspectives,  
ranging from emerging technologies and international development to  
agriculture and energy policy. We seek scholars who have an interest  
in teaching in an undergraduate liberal arts college and who would  
welcome the opportunity to interact with students and faculty members  
from a variety of disciplines, all of which contribute to Vassar's  
long-established multidisciplinary program in Science, Technology, and  
Society (STS). Vassar College is an equal opportunity/affirmative  
action employer and is strongly and actively committed to diversity  
within its community. Applications from members of historically  
underrepresented groups are especially encouraged.
The Fellow will teach or team-teach two courses each academic year and  
also will have some responsibility in advising students on projects  
and theses. In addition, the Fellow will be able to pursue her or his  
own scholarly project in a supportive and intellectually stimulating  
environment where exchange among faculty from different disciplines is  
encouraged. The fellowship includes $47,380 in salary, plus benefits,  
as well as support for research, professional travel and relocation  
expenses.
Please submit a letter of application, a curriculum vitae, a graduate  
school transcript, three letters of recommendation, a brief  
description of teaching interests, selected syllabi of courses  
previously taught, and examples of scholarly work to: Ronald Sharp,  
Dean of the Faculty, Vassar College, Box 4, 124 Raymond Avenue,  
Poughkeepsie, NY 12604-0004. Review of applications will begin on  
February 25, 2008.
Vassar College is a highly selective, coeducational liberal arts  
institution. Its 250 faculty members offer undergraduate education to  
2,300 students on a beautiful 1,000-acre campus situated ninety  
minutes north of New York City in the scenic mid-Hudson Valley. The  
College provides strong support for teaching and scholarship through  
its extensive library holdings, the extraordinary collection of the  
Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, its program in teaching development
