Let me draw attention to an unusual new appointment in the College of Science at Swansea University, in case it is of interest to you or your research students. The College is seeking to appoint an inspiring and enthusiastic teacher in any scientific subject area -- including the history of science and technology -- to enhance significantly the learning experience of science students through first rate teaching and curricula development. The successful candidate will be expected to develop and promote good practice and innovation. 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. 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. 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. At Swansea, the College of Science consists of these disciplines, each with their own department: Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Biosciences and Geography.
