JOB: history of superconductivity / superconducting materials
At the Section for the
History of Science & Technology (GNT), History Dept., University of
Stuttgart, Germany, we currently have a job opening at the post-MA/MS stage
prior to a PhD thesis or for an early postdoc (annual income between 20.000 and
23.000 € - see http://oeffentlicher-dienst.info/c/t/rechner/tv-l/west?id=tv-l-2013 for
income details). The job opening is initially for one year, with the likely
possibility of a one-year extension.
The goal of the project,
of which this job is a part, is to develop an interdisciplinary teaching unit
consisting of lectures and seminars dealing with topics in the thematic cluster
of "history of materials research", here especially the history of
superconductivity and superconducting materials. A strong background in the
physical sciences and in the history of science & technology and the willingness
to cooperate with students and lecturers in science and engineering as
well as in the humanities are indispensable job requirements. Because
these courses will be held in German, you have to speak English AND German
fluently. Aside from work on this interdisciplinary teaching unit for roughly
20h per week with a flexible time schedule, you would have the freedom to
work on your own project (e.g., a related dissertation topic or postdoc work on
your own articles). Residence in Stuttgart or its vicinity is
mandatory during the period of your employment - this is a
fascinating place to work (see www.uni-stuttgart.de)
and also a pretty and very liveable town (see www.stuttgart.de and http://www.stuttgart-tourist.de/ for
basic info).
Interested persons are
welcome to send their application materials (CV, list of publications, one
pertinent sample of own publications and a 3-5 page exposé of your own project)
before June 30, 2013 (arrival time, not shipment deadline) by email
