Dear Deborah,

I hope your summer is going well. I'm writing to draw your attention to a job announcement that will be advertised soon. It's for a brand new, tenure-track position in the history of science and/or technology in the modern age. Geographical focus is wide open, as is research specialization.

We're looking for someone with great scholarly potential as well as the ability to teach undergraduates well at both the introductory and upper levels. OU offers the MA in all areas of history and the Ph.D. in twentieth-century history, so this person can expect to work with graduate students. Our faculty members teach four courses a year and all are active in their fields of research and publication.

I'd appreciate your help in publicizing this position as widely as possible and encouraging suitable candidates to apply. The deadline is November 7. Below I've pasted a link to the official posting as well as the description that will appear in the Chronicle and elsewhere. If I can tell you anything else about the position or history at Ohio University, please let me know. You should also feel free to contact the chair of the search committee, Kevin Uhalde, who is cc'ed on this message. Thanks in advance.

The Department of History at Ohio University invites applications for a new position in the history of science and/or technology in the modern age. Research interests should reflect the social, economic, ecological, or political context of scientific/technological development. The chosen candidate will offer courses in both the history of science and technology and in a traditional geographically-defined field. An ability to teach classes with a global and comparative perspective is preferred, but candidates specializing in all geographical fields are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will develop introductory and upper-level survey courses within his or her discipline, and participate in interdisciplinary courses at the introductory or advanced level in collaboration with colleagues from other disciplines, including the natural sciences.

Sincerely,

Kathy

Katherine Jellison
Professor of History and
Department of History Chairperson
Ohio University
Athens, OH 45701
