Two posts, recently advertised by the University of Oxford, may be of interest to subscribers to Mersenne. The posts are a new university lecturership in the history of medicine (associated with a fellowship at St Cross College) and a university lectureship in modern history (with a fellowship at St Anne's College). While the person appointed to the lecturership in modern history will be expected to have a broad competence in early modern intellectual history, candidates specializing in the history of science in the period are strongly encouraged to apply. Further details are available at: - http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/fp/ulhistmed.shtml (university lecturership in the history of medicine) - http://www.ox.ac.uk/gazette/2004-5/weekly/141004/appts/entry_4.htm and http://www.stannes.ox.ac.uk/frameset.htm?content/inf/apt.htm&1 (official fellowship and university lecturership (CUF) in Modern History) Robert Fox
