 Dear Megan,



Hoping that you are having a solid end to the fall semester.

It's a rather singular kind of job search (as you can see from the job ad), and if you are able to, it would be wonderful if you’d be able to send this around to people you think would potentially be interested.  I would love to encourage people who are doing critical work around native/indigenous history, empire/colonialism, race, political economy, and environment to apply.



Thanks so much for taking a look at this point in December!  And thank you in advance if you’re able to send this out further to your communities!



All my best,
Monica


Here’s the brief version of the job ad:

The Department of History and the Integrated Liberal Studies Program at the UW-Madison invite excellent candidates who work in the history of science with a focus on water to apply for a tenure-track position at the rank of assistant professor. The time period and area of specialization are open. A candidate’s research may engage, for instance, with the social, political, and intellectual dimensions of human-water interactions; water access, use, or management; oceanography, limnology, hydrology, or fisheries science; or water biology and ecology, both marine and freshwater. The successful candidate may have a transnational dimension to their research but should be well grounded in a US context.

We welcome applications from scholars whose research on systems of knowledge-making around water can complement strengths of the Department of History, which include indigenous history, environmental history, slavery and race relations, US empire and militarization, comparative imperialisms/colonialisms, and political economy.

As a core member of the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology graduate program, the successful candidate may engage with its strengths in data and information, science and empire, health and environment, and the global history of science. We are especially interested in innovative scholars willing to explore interdisciplinary water research in collaboration with colleagues in water-focused research centers and other units at UW–Madison, such as the Aquatic Sciences Center, Center for Limnology, Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies, La Follette School of Public Policy, and Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences. The tenure home will be in the Department of History.
