Cheers James -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Limited term history and philosophy of science position at Dalhousie University Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2018 19:26:28 +0000 From: Stephen Snobelen <snobelen@DAL.CA> Reply-To: Stephen Snobelen <snobelen@DAL.CA> To: MERSENNE@JISCMAIL.AC.UK The Computer Science department at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia is advertising for a person to teach two survey courses "in the undergraduate Computer Science program on social, historical and philosophical perspectives on computers". This likely will include general history (and philosophy) of science depending on who is hired. It will also include teaching in either the Philosophy or History departments depending on the candidate. See the notice and the link to a longer form of the ad in pdf format here: https://blogs.dal.ca/academiccareers/2018/04/23/departments-of-philosophy-an... If anyone with an HPS background is interested in applying for this position, I'd be happy to talk to them if they contact me privately.
