Dear Colleague--<br><br>
Apologies for the mass mailing. I hope you might alert students to the
post doc listed below. <br><br>
The position might be of particular interest to a student finishing up a
doctorate in history of science and technology and/or science, technology
studies. We are particularly interested in someone with energy and
creativity who would enjoy working with the team of people at the Center
for History and New Media. Experience with digital media is a plus but
not a requirement. In the past, these positions have been an excellent
springboard to tenure track teaching jobs. <br><br>
thanks,<br>
Roy Rosenzweig, Director, Center for History and New Media, roy@gmu.edu;

<i>p.s. We also have openings for recent college grads as well as summer
internships; I have put those ads below as well. </i><br><br>

<b>Other openings at the Center for History and New Media</b><br><br>
<b>Webmaster and Technical Coordinator</b>: The Center for History and
New Media (CHNM) at George Mason University (GMU) anticipates an opening
in Summer 2006 for a Webmaster/ Technical Coordinator to maintain the
CHNM server and oversee the CHNM computer lab. This is a permanent
classified staff position that is particularly appropriate for someone
with combined interest in technology and history. We are seeking an
energetic, responsible, well-organized person who is equally able to work

PHP); database-driven web applications (especially using MySQL);
command-line configuration of Red Hat Linux and Apache; web design (CSS,
Dreamweaver, Photoshop); and Mac and Windows operating systems. In
addition to overseeing a Red Hat Linux server, the Webmaster will help
develop web database applications, construct websites, purchase and
maintain software and hardware for the lab, and supervise part-time
staff. Salary: $35-39K plus excellent benefits. Please email resume,
three references, links to prior web-based work, and cover letter about
technology background and interest in history to

helpful: web-database applications (MySQL and PHP), web design (CSS,
Dreamweaver, Photoshop), multimedia (Flash, including ActionScript), and
Final Cut Pro. Salary: $34K plus excellent benefits. Please email resume,
three references, links to any prior web-based work (or programming
