MIT STS Graduate Program

The Department of Engineering and Society at the University of Virginia is seeking to hire an assistant professor, tenure track.  Please distribute the below position announcement to the appropriate graduate student/recent graduate student listings.  Thank!


Assistant Professor of Science, Technology, and Society, Department of Engineering and Society, School of Engineering and Applied Science, University of Virginia

The Program in Science, Technology, and Society in the Department of Engineering and Society ( http://www.eands.virginia.edu/eands/) is seeking an outstanding scholar who studies science, technology, and engineering. We particularly seek applicants from science-technology studies and the empirical social sciences (such as sociology, anthropology, or political science). Research specialties could include the design of sociotechnical systems, cybersecurity, big data, social media, entrepreneurship and leadership, nanotechnology, or the nature of expertise in professions - among other topics.

The successful candidate will be expected to have a demonstrated record of teaching excellence, since STS teaches across the core curriculum for undergraduate engineers. Instruction in writing and other communications skills is one key concern in that coursework. The hire will play a prominent role in the programs that E&S provides to the School of Engineering and Applied Science (such as the undergraduate thesis, engineering business, or the policy internship) as well as building connections to other departments in the Engineering School. We welcome candidates who have recently received their doctorates (must have degree in hand) as well as those with more teaching or research experience. The position is tenure track, with salary commensurate to experience, and will commence Fall 2014.

Applicants should submit a cover letter outlining both research interests and their approaches to teaching in the STS curriculum at SEAS. Applicants should also provide a curriculum vitae, a sample of written work, and contact information of three references. Send all materials to https://jobs.virginia.edu<https://jobs.virginia.edu/> under Posting Number 0613274. We will begin reviewing applications on 1 February 2014 and will continue to accept applications until the position is filled.

The University of Virginia is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer committed to developing diversity in faculty and welcomes applications from women, minorities, veterans, and persons with disabilities.
