Postdoctoral fellowships in history & philosophy of science, Jerusalem (Israel), Deadline: 1 Apr 2017

THE SIDNEY M. EDELSTEIN CENTER
FOR THE HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND MEDICINE
AT THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY OF JERUSALEM, ISRAEL

The Edelstein Center invites applications for
POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS
For the academic year 2017-2018
in the history and philosophy of science, technology and medicine

Applications are welcome from those who have Ph.D. in the history or
philosophy of science or in the physical, life, or social sciences,
obtained not earlier than 30 September 2012, or those who expect to be
awarded a Ph.D. by September 2017.

The Center especially encourages applications from candidates who have
common research interests with members of the Edelstein Center and wish to
work with them during their post-doctoral tenure. The Center also
encourages applications from candidates whose research proposal is based on
use of any of the following collections: The Edelstein Collections
(Chemistry, Alchemy, Dyeing, and Nutrition), the Albert Einstein Archives,
the Yehuda Theological Collection of Isaac Newton, and the Friedenwald
Collection (History of Medicine).

Fellows are expected to dedicate their time to research (and acknowledge
the support of the Center in any relevant publication or lecture), to
attend the Center regularly (office space is provided), and to participate
throughout their fellowship in the Center's activities, such as colloquia,
discussion groups, conferences and workshops. In addition, fellows are
expected to contribute actively to the Center by initiating activities such
as discussion groups or workshops. In the application, candidates should
specify in what way they intend to contribute to the Center during their
fellowship.

For the academic year 2017-2018 the Center may offer full or partial
fellowships, for either a full year, or part of a year, and in certain
circumstances for two years. In the application, candidates are encouraged
to specify their preferences, which will be taken into account, but the
Center is not committed by them and may offer the candidates alternative
periods of time. The Center will provide to the fellows office space at the
Center; (for those not residing in Israel) a return air ticket economy
class to Israel; and a monthly stipend (in the past year this was in the
amount of 8000 NIS, but next year?s stipend depends on availability and the
Center may also decide to award partial stipends). Successful fellows are
expected to provide evidence of comprehensive health insurance for the
duration of the fellowship.

Applications should include (1) personal details including email address
for communication with the candidate (can be in cover letter), (2)
curriculum vitae, (3) list of publications, (4) abstract and sample chapter
from the doctoral dissertation and/or a recent publication, (5) a research
proposal, (6) specification of the preferred period of fellowship, (7) a
clear description of ways in which the candidate intends to contribute to
the Center during the fellowship period, and (8) two letters of
recommendation, sent directly to the offices of the Edelstein Center.

Applications (no forms are required) should be sent electronically in PDF
format only to: edelstein.center@mail.huji.ac.il
Applications must be received by 1 April 2017
