Hi Karen,

I wanted to let you know about a non-tenure job opportunity here at Auburn. The Tech & Civ courses are team-taught, and so they’re a great way to learn how to teach history of technology in collaboration with other historians of technology (myself included). Can you please pass it along? Here is the official statement...

Auburn University, an R1 Research Institution, is currently accepting applications for a non-tenure track instructor primarily responsible for teaching multiple sections of our two-term core undergraduate sequence in the history of technology (details below, also advertised on H-Net). Please share this job announcement with any graduates of your PhD program or advanced ABD students who might be interested.

Thanks!

Xaq
