Dear Karen,

I'm pleased to share that my department, the Science in Society Program, is hiring for a tenure-track assistant professor position this fall. We are especially interested in scholars with a focus on history and cultural studies of science/medicine/technology locating their research in the Global South.

Would you please share the enclosed job announcement with the HASTS lists?

Thank you, and hope you are doing well.

Best,
Mitali
