Post-Doc Positions on a Narrative Science Project
Applications are invited for 3 Post-Docs to work on the EU-funded project
Narrative Science under the direction of the principal
investigator, Professor Mary S. Morgan at the London School of
Economics. This team project will investigate how, when, and why
scientists use narratives to explain their work within their own
communities.
Each researcher will develop their own case materials within the
overall project, working - by agreement with the project leader - on
particular topics and fields of science past and present.
It
is expected that candidates will have a PhD in history of science, or a
closely related field (including narrative studies, science
communication,
etc) provided you have some
experience of historical research work; or you must have an equivalent
track record of independent and original research.
As part of their application, candidates are asked to write a brief response to the larger project summary, found here:
http://www.lse.ac.uk/
The job advert is found here (which links to further details and tells you how to apply):
http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/
There
will shortly also be an advert for a Research Fellow to help run the
project, and to curate a web-based ‘library’ of case studies in
narrative
science.
Candidates are welcome to apply to both.
