Featured Job: ASU’s Barrett, The Honors College January 22, 2012

It’s a tough job market, so many graduate students and early careerists are looking beyond strictly history of science job opportunities. If you wish to be in academia, be ready to market yourself to a range of jobs in history, STS/science studies, and other programs. If a job interests you and you aren’t sure that your qualifications fit what they are looking for, ask. Write to the person overseeing the job search and be savvy about what you say. This email is one way to make your name known to the search committee.

Barrett, the Honors College at Arizona State University is seeking to hire someone with training in the humanities or social sciences. This opportunity may not immediately seem appropriate to the historian of science, however, it is and historians of the natural sciences are encouraged to apply. Review of applications begins February 13, 2012. Go here for more information.
