Dear Stefan,

Warm greetings from Atlanta! I hope this finds you well. I’m writing to hopefully enlist your help in spreading word at HASTS about a search that my department has just launched.

The School of History and Sociology at Georgia Tech is further strengthening its core focus in history and sociology of science and technology. I’ve attached the advertisement for two new positions in the department: one historian and one sociologist of science, technology, or medicine. It’s only just been posted, and has a short turnaround time, so we’re trying to make sure word gets out to finishing PhDs and other early career scholars who might like to apply. In addition to the PDF of the advertisement, I’ve included a short description and instructions on where to find the online notice below.

I would be grateful if you were willing to share the advertisement with your students and other colleagues on the job market this year. Questions about the position can be directed to me (hacurry at gatech.edu<mailto:hacurry at gatech.edu>) or Amit Prasad (amit.prasad at hsoc.gatech.edu<mailto:amit.prasad at hsoc.gatech.edu>) as co-chairs of the search committee.

Sincerely,

Helen
