The Centre for Modern Thought at the University of Aberdeen has been
created as a site for cross-disciplinary theoretical research and
theoretical inquiry bearing on global socio-historical developments and
political issues. It will serve degree programmes throughout the College
of Art and Social Sciences in the context of the University's new Graduate
School and will offer a stimulating environment to students seeking a
high-profile Ph.D. programme staffed by internationally recognised
scholars.

In the coming academic year, we aim to make a number of academic 
appointments (at any rank) in the following areas:

Modern Intellectual History: [...]

Science Studies/History of Science: An important part of the Centre?s work
will be addressed to relations between the sciences, the social sciences
and the humanities. An individual strongly versed in the areas of history
of science and theory of knowledge will play a vital role.

Theory of Art: [...]

Political Theory: [...]

Literary Theory: [...]

Scholars from any field whose work intersects with these areas are welcome
to apply. Suitable candidates will have a distinguished publication record
or demonstrate exceptional promise. We will accept applications until the
positions are filled, but we will begin active consideration of the
applications on 15 November 2005. Enquiries may be directed to Professor
Christopher Fynsk, enl290@abdn.ac.uk. For further information regarding
