Lecturer and Associate Director

Program in Science, Technology and Society - Stanford University

 The Program in Science, Technology and Society (STS) at Stanford University
seeks a Lecturer to serve as Associate Director for a three-year, renewable
term starting on September 1, 2012 (with an annual appointment of nine
months).

 The Program serves approximately 170 undergraduate majors. It brings
together faculty from across the humanities, the social sciences,
engineering and the natural sciences to explore issues emerging at the
intersection of their fields. The Associate Director will teach three
courses per year, manage our Honors Program (which includes leading monthly
research and writing workshops in collaboration with others), and advise
students in the STS Program. He or she will also develop a research profile
through publications and presentations and will work with the Director and
the Program's Executive Committee to set curricular priorities and policies,
facilitate innovative and collaborative teaching, develop research
programming (including lecture series and symposia), and help to connects
STS majors to research labs and projects on campus.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in a cognate discipline at the time of
appointment. They should have an excellent record of undergraduate teaching
and a forward-looking research agenda related to STS. Fields of special
interest include social and cultural approaches to information technology;
sociology of innovation; bioethics and biopolitics; science, technology and
the environment; and security studies.  Applicants should also be able to
build bridges across multiple intellectual communities and possess
exceptional communication and organizational skills.

 To apply send a letter of interest, a curriculum vitae, and a sample of
your research-based writing as a single PDF file to Denise Curti, STS
Program Manager, at dcurti at stanford.edu. Please also arrange to have three
confidential letters of recommendation sent by email to the same address.
The review of files will begin on April 21. 

 Stanford University is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to
increasing the diversity of its faculty and staff. It welcomes nominations
of, and applications from, women and members of minority groups, as well as
others who would bring additional dimensions to the university's research
and teaching missions
