The successful candidate will be expected to develop and promote good practice and innovation.</div><div><br></div><div>The College is also keen in linking disciplines and providing a more rounded scientific education. There is very fertile ground in Swansea University -- and, indeed, in Wales generally -- for developing research and teaching the history of science and technology in various ways. In the College of Science, this appointment would have young scientists -- undergraduates and postgraduates -- in mind and the successful candidate would have some opportunities and influence.</div><div><br></div><div>Given the unifying and prominent role of computing in modern science since the 1950s, a historian of computing technology, its applications and impact could offer the College something special. I thought that you may know of someone in history of computing who would be attracted to a post with a base in Computer Science and a brief to range widely.</div><div><br></div><div>Note the post is announced at two levels -- Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor -- depending upon experience. Note too that Swansea has very flexible career paths that allow movement, e.g., to and from primarily research and teaching roles.</div><div><br></div><div>At Swansea, the College of Science consists of these disciplines, each with their own department: </div><div><br></div><div>Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Biosciences and Geography. </div><div><br></div><div>Swansea University is here:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.swansea.ac.uk/">http://www.swansea.ac.uk</a></div><div><br></div><div>The College of Science is here:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.swansea.ac.uk/science">http://www.swansea.ac.uk/science</a></div><div><br></div><div>The Department of Computer Science is here:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.swansea.ac.uk/compsci/">http://www.swansea.ac.uk/compsci/</a></div><div><br></div><div>Further and formal details of the post are here:</div><div><br></div><a href="http://www.swansea.ac.uk/the-university/work-at-swansea/jobs/details.php?nPostingID=2030&nPostingTargetID=3659&option=52&sort=DESC&respnr=1&ID=QHUFK026203F3VBQB7VLO8NXD&LOV4=7813&LOV5=7978&JOBADLG=UK&Resultsperpage=20&lg=UK&mask=suext">http://www.swansea.ac.uk/the-university/work-at-swansea/jobs/details.php?nPostingID=2030&nPostingTargetID=3659&option=52&sort=DESC&respnr=1&ID=QHUFK026203F3VBQB7VLO8NXD&LOV4=7813&LOV5=7978&JOBADLG=UK&Resultsperpage=20&lg=UK&mask=suext</a><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>John Tucker</div></body></html>
