THE SIDNEY M. EDELSTEIN CENTER
FOR THE HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND MEDICINE
AT THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY OF JERUSALEM, ISRAEL
The Edelstein Center invites applications for
POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS For one the academic year 2022-2023
in the history and philosophy of science, technology and medicine
Applications are welcome from those who have PhD in the history or philosophy of science or of the physical, life, or social sciences, obtained not earlier than 30 September 2016, or those who expect to be awarded a PhD by September 2021. The Fellowship period is 1 October 2022 - 30 September 2023.
The Center especially encourages applications from candidates who have common research interests with members of the Edelstein Center and wish to work with them during their post-doctoral tenure. The Center also encourages applications from candidates whose research proposal is based on the use of any of the following collections: The Edelstein Collections (Chemistry, Alchemy, Dyeing, and Nutrition), the Albert Einstein Archives, the Yehuda Theological Collection of Isaac Newton, and the Friedenwald Collection (History of Medicine).
Fellows are expected to dedicate their time to research, to attend the Center regularly, and to participate throughout their fellowship in the Center's activities, such as colloquia, discussion groups, conferences and workshops. Fellows are expected to reside in Israel for the duration of their fellowship. Fellows will be allocated office space at the Centre and will enjoy access to the libraries and other university facilities. During their stay, they are expected to contribute actively to the Center by initiating activities such as discussion groups or workshops, and acknowledge the support of the Center in any relevant publication or lecture. In the application, candidates should specify in what way they intend to contribute to the Center during their fellowship.
The Center may offer either full or partial fellowships, for either two full academic years, or one a full year, or part of a year. In the application, candidates should specify their preferences, which will be taken into account, but the Center is not committed by them and may offer the candidates alternative periods of time. The Center will provide the fellows office space. The fellowship will comprise a monthly stipend: in the past year, it amounted to circa. 8000 NIS, but next year’s stipend depends on availability and the Center may also decide to award partial stipends. The Centre will also cover a return air ticket (economy class) to Israel (for those not residing in Israel). Successful fellows are expected to provide evidence of comprehensive health insurance for the duration of the fellowship.
Applications should include (1) personal details, including email address for communication with the candidate (these can be stated in cover letter), (2) curriculum vitae, (3) list of publications, (4) abstract and sample chapter from the doctoral dissertation and/or a recent publication, (5) a research proposal, (6) specification of the preferred period of fellowship, (7) a clear description of ways in which the candidate intends to contribute to the Center during the fellowship period, and (8) two letters of recommendation, sent directly to the offices of the Edelstein Center.
Applications (no forms are required) should be sent electronically in one PDF format only to: edelstei...@mail.huji.ac.il
Applications must be received by 15.6.2022
