two lectureships in the history of science, technology and medicine at Kings College London

The Department of History at Kings College London seeks to appoint two lecturers in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine, to join the Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine, which will be transferring from Imperial College to the Department in August 2013.

Applications are invited from excellent scholars with interests in any area of specialism within this broad field, from the early medieval period to the late twentieth century, and with a geographical focus in any part of the world. The successful candidate will be expected to produce world-leading research in their area of expertise, to teach at both undergraduate and MA level, to attract research students and external research funding, and to contribute to the development of CHoSTM at King’s as a leading centre of research and teaching in this field.

All candidates should have completed a PhD degree, and be in a position to make a strong contribution to the Department’s submission to the Research Excellence Framework (REF). They should be prepared both to teach specialist undergraduate and MA modules in their area of expertise and to contribute to the broader introductory and team-taught curriculum of the Department at both these levels.

For an informal discussion of the post please contact Dr Adam Sutcliffe on 020 7848 1775, or via email at adam.sutcliffe@kcl.ac.uk , or Professor David Edgerton via email at d.edgerton@imperial.ac.uk .

The closing date for applications is 20 Feb 2013.

Interviews will be held on 19 March 2013.
