The Centre
for the History of the Sciences within the School of History at the
University of Kent seeks two qualified postdoctoral researchers to work
as part of a three-year Leverhulme Trust-funded
project, “Metropolitan Science: Places, Objects and Cultures of
Practice and Knowledge in London, 1600-1800”, led by Dr Rebekah Higgitt.
In this
role, you will conduct object-based and archival research, particularly
in the collections of the Science Museum and among the papers of
London’s Livery and Trading Companies. You will participate
fully in the activities of the project, attending workshops and
conferences, publishing results of research, feeding into the
development and interpretation of the Science Museum’s “London, Science
City” gallery (opening 2019), and assisting Dr Higgitt’s research
and public engagement agendas.
If you have
specialist knowledge of the history of early modern London, experience
in archival work and publishing research articles and a keen interest in
contributing to this project, this is a
great chance to join a unique working environment that offers excellent
training, benefits and future opportunities.
