> The Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine at University
College
> London seeks to appoint a new member of academic staff, at any rank from
> Lecturer to Professor, with research field complementing the expertise of
> the current core staff. (See www.ucl.ac.uk/histmed for further information
> about the Centre.) Any and all fields will be considered, although we have
> identified three areas of particular need: 1) the medieval period, with
> working research skills in Arabic, Latin, or Hebrew; 2) gender and
medicine;
> 3) modern biomedical science and medicine. An active research programme in
> the history of medicine is the highest priority, but the candidate will
also
> be asked to contribute to the work of the Centre, including to teaching in
a
> degree programme for medical students, to teaching at the Masters' level,
to
> PhD supervision, to sponsoring post-doctoral fellows, and to working with
> the press and public, colleagues in other fields, and other constituencies
> for the advancement of the discipline.
> The closing date for applications will be 7 May, with interviews in London
> to be arranged by early June. We hope to have completed the appointment
> process by 1 October 2004, or even to have someone in place by that date.
> Informal initial interviews may be possible for North American candidates
at
> the upcoming AAHM meeting in Madison, Wisconsin, between 29 April and 2
May
> (about which, see http://www.histmed.org/meetings). Please send a letter
of
> application, a c.v., and the names of three people whom we can contact for
> references, to Prof. Harold J. Cook, The Wellcome Trust Centre for the
> History of Medicine at UCL, 24 Eversholt St., London NW1 1AD. Further
> inquiries may be made to him at [log in to unmask] . Further particulars
about
> the application process are available from the Administrator of the
Centre,
