Postdoc in history of medicine (60%), Zurich, Switzerland
The history of medicine group within the Center for Medical Humanities
of the University of Zurich, Switzerland, seeks to make two appointments (60%)
at postdoctoral level, tenable from 1 September 2015. Applications are welcome
from scholars with research expertise in any aspect of the history of medicine,
in any region of the world, in the period since 1900. We would particularly
welcome applications from scholars whose work connects with areas of global
health, infectious diseases, HIV/AIDS, drug therapies and public health. The
post-holder will be expected to contribute to the delivery of teaching in this
broad area at all levels. The history of medicine section at Zurich builds on
Erwin H. Ackerknecht’s legacy of an internationally respected, research-active
environment and hopes to be a leading voice for the development of Medical
Humanities at the University of Zurich. The successful candidate will play an
important role in the further development of the teaching, research, public
engagement and international reputation of the history of medicine group, as
well as working closely with colleagues in the Bioethics and History
Departments and in other departments and faculties in Switzerland and
elsewhere. Further information on the history of medicine group is available on

should be sent electronically by 29 May 2015 to Professor Flurin Condrau,
Center for Medical Humanities, University of Zurich, flurin.condrau@uzh.ch.
