The Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin announces two
Walther Rathenau postdoctoral fellowships for 2002/04
for outstanding junior scholars working on some aspect of "Science on Screen" - the projection of scientific images, including the camera obscura (and lucida), magic lanterns, photography, and film.
Projects involving any aspect of such projections in science from the 16th century to the present are welcome. The fellowship is for a 24 months stay at the Institute in Berlin, beginning 1 October, 2002. In addition to conducting his or her own research, the Rathenau Fellows will help in the preparation of the Berlin Summer Academy 2003 on "Science on Screen".
Furthermore the Institute announces the
Lorenz Krüger postdoctoral fellowship for 2002/03
for an outstanding junior scholar whose current research combines perspectives from the history of science with those of the philosophy of science and/or the history of philosophy. The fellowship is named in honor of the late Professor Lorenz Krüger, of the University of Göttingen, whose work sought to connect philosophy with the history of science. The Lorenz Krüger Fellowship is awarded for a one year stay at the Institute in Berlin, beginning 1 October, 2002.
The fellowships are open to scholars of all nationalities who have completed their Ph.D. no earlier than 1997 and no later than September 2002.
