Dear all,
I’m forwarding an ad for a one-year lecturer position in History of Science – in case any of you have either recent PhD grads or graduating PhD students seeking employment next year. We are often able to offer these positions to our own graduating students – but happily they are all set in either tenure track jobs, postdocs, or both.
I can attest to the fact that lecturers in our department are treated well, receive good mentoring from faculty, and have a track record of securing tenure track positions or prestigious postdocs after one or two years of working with us. Two alums who served as lecturers this year are following this path.
Please circulate widely to recent alums and/or graduating students. We haven’t had many applications so far – here’s the link - https://academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/12242
Thank you,
Linda
