Faculty Position: History of Medicine

The Department of Social Medicine, School of Medicine, University of
North Carolina at
Chapel Hill, seeks applicants for a tenure-track position in the
social/cultural history of
modern medicine. Applicants should hold a doctorate in history or a
related discipline,
and demonstrate commitment to both teaching and research. Appointment at
the Assistant
Professor level is most likely, but faculty rank is negotiable based on
credentials and
experience, and all qualified candidates are encouraged.

Specific areas of scholarship should complement those of our
multidisciplinary faculty,
which include moral philosophy, literature, anthropology, sociology,
political science,
law, epidemiology, health services research, internal medicine, family
medicine,
pediatrics, and surgery. Candidates with expertise in history of science
and technology
are particularly welcome. The School of Medicine adjoins the campus of
the College of
Arts and Sciences, and offers a uniquely hospitable environment for
cross-disciplinary
work in a wide range of fields. Opportunities for collaboration extend
from a possible
affiliation with the Department of History to affiliations with other
campus units,
including: our new Center for Biomedical Ethics (affiliated with our
department); the
School of Public Health; the Duke-UNC Program in History of Science,
Medicine, and
Technology.

Responsibilities of this position will include regular teaching in our
year-long
multidisciplinary survey course, "Medicine and Society", which meets
weekly
throughout the academic year, and a one-semester weekly seminar to be
designed by the
candidate. An active program of scholarship and publication is
essential; prospects for
attracting extramural funding are important, particularly for more
senior applicants.
Administrative responsibilities will be contingent on experience. Women
and minority
applicants are especially welcome. Submit cover letter and curriculum
