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/economicHistory/Research/Home.aspx

The job advert is found here (which links to further details and tells you how to apply):  http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/BBN614/research-officers-x-3/  The closing date is June 22nd

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.
