Dear HSS Women's Caucus Members,

Lyman Briggs College at Michigan State University just started a search for
one (or more) fixed term faculty for 14-15. The full text from the ad is
below.

Please circulate in your departments and/or forward to colleagues who may
be interested.

My Best Wishes,

Lyman Briggs College (LBC), an undergraduate, residential, liberal arts,
science program at Michigan State University, invites applications for
visiting instructors for 2014-2015.  We anticipate one to three full-time
openings. Founded in 1967, LBC is a vibrant college at MSU focusing on the
study of science and its impact on society. Bridging the two cultures, the
LBC curriculum integrates natural sciences and mathematics courses with
courses in the history, philosophy, and sociology of science, and faculty
work closely with students in small classes. Faculty, staff, and students
in LBC promote inclusion through a range of initiatives. The college, for
example, hosts student groups like the Briggs Multi-Cultural Alliance and
Women in Science. Briggs faculty, staff, and students have also won
university awards for diversity and inclusion for their instruction and
research.



Candidates must be committed to undergraduate teaching and should hold a
MA/MS with a specialization in the history, philosophy, and/or sociology of
science, technology, environment, or medicine. Interests in literature,
public policy, the environment, history of science, and/or philosophy of
technology would be especially welcomed.  A Ph.D. is strongly preferred.



The successful candidate will teach five courses over the course of the
academic year: two or three sections of our first-year introduction to
history, philosophy and sociology of science (HPS) course and two or three
upper-level HPS courses.  Salary is commensurate with experience.



This position is listed on the MSU Applicant Page, Posting #9077.
Applications must be uploaded to MSU's online job application site (
https://jobs.msu.edu), and should include a cover letter outlining the
candidate's expertise as it pertains to their ability to teach within one
or more of the specializations listed above and the pedagogical approaches
the candidate applies in the classroom as well as a c.v. and teaching
portfolio. For details on teaching portfolios see
www.lymanbriggs.msu.edu/faculty/openPositions.cfm.  In addition, three
letters of recommendation addressing the candidate's teaching experience
and expertise must be sent electronically by the recommenders through the
application system.



Deadline to ensure consideration of application is March 15, 2014, and
review of applications will continue until the positions are filled.
Questions regarding these positions may be directed to Dr. Georgina M.
Montgomery, at montg165 at msu.edu <Shelton at msu.edu> or at Lyman Briggs
College; 919 E. Shaw Lane; Room E-35; Michigan State University; East
Lansing, MI 48825-1107.



MSU is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer. MSU is committed
to achieving excellence through cultural diversity. The university actively
encourages applications and/or nominations of women, persons of color,
veterans and persons with disabilities.
