[SIGCIS-Members] Job: Lecturer, University of Manchester, UK

[James Sumner]

Dear SIGCIS

My group, the Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine 
at the University of Manchester in the UK, is seeking a new permanent 
member of teaching and research staff at Lecturer level (similar to 
Assistant Professor). We are particularly looking to broaden our Global 
South coverage, so the role might suit someone who works on information 
and communications technologies in those regions. CHSTM is strong on 
contemporary history, and an interest in science and technology studies, 
science policy, or science communication studies may be an advantage.

If you'd like to know more about CHSTM as a working environment, I'd be 
happy to discuss informally: just drop me an email off-list.

Applications close at midnight UK time (UTC+1) on *Friday 10 June 2022.*

Full details, including link to detailed person specification, are at 
https://www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/displayjob.aspx?jobid=22343. Summary 
below.

All best
James


    Lecturer in History of Science, Technology or Medicine (teaching and
    research)
    University of Manchester

*Salary:* £42,149 to £51,799 per annum, depending on relevant experience

Applications are invited for a permanent post as Lecturer in History of 
Science, Technology or Medicine at the Centre for the History of Science 
Technology and Medicine (CHSTM), University of Manchester. Keen to 
broaden our teaching and research portfolio in the global history of 
science, technology and medicine (STM), we encourage applications from 
candidates with expertise in colonial, postcolonial or decolonized 
histories of science, medicine or technology. Candidates will have 
proven expertise in one of these fields (S, T or M), or a combination, 
as our Centre is dedicated to the integrated modern history of STM, 
along with science and health communication. We particularly encourage 
applications from candidates whose research focuses on such knowledges 
and practices in regions commonly understood to form part of the Global 
South, such as Africa, Latin America, South Asia or Southeast Asia. We 
will also consider applicants working on current or recent STM in other 
non-western contexts.

You will be expected to possess a compelling research vision with strong 
potential to develop an excellent research portfolio attractive to 
research funders, with a view to building research leadership in your 
chosen field. You will possess a competitive publication record in 
accordance with your career stage, and sustainable plans to publish 
further peer reviewed academic work. You will have viable plans to apply 
for research funding and will be fully supported in this by experienced 
colleagues. You will also be keen to organize seminars and conferences 
maintaining and further developing your network of research contacts.

You will support and enhance our teaching portfolio at undergraduate and 
postgraduate (MSc and PhD) levels. In addition to provision of 
innovative lectures and seminars, this will include playing an active 
role in undergraduate and postgraduate dissertation and project 
supervision, and taking on pastoral roles as an academic advisor. You 
will be supported in developing and delivering course units at 
undergraduate and postgraduate level, based on your area of research 
expertise. You will have the opportunity to supervise PhD students.

As an equal opportunities employer we welcome applicants from all 
sections of the community regardless of age, sex, gender (or gender 
identity), ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and transgender 
status.  All appointments are made on merit.
