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.
