THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE
Faculty Positions in Science, Technology, and Society (STS) at the National University of Singapore.
The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences of the National University of Singapore is seeking applicants for research & teaching positions in the area of Science, Technology, and Society (STS).
This is an open-rank search (we are offering tenure-track Assistant Professorships through Associate Professorships), and successful candidates will join a number of departments, including: History, Sociology, Philosophy, English Language and Literature, Communications and New Media. Area Studies appointments are also possible (in departments of Japanese, Chinese, Malay, South Asian, and Southeast Asian Studies).
Candidates will be expected to raise the university's profile in STS-related research, and contribute to teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. We are particularly interested in candidates who can work with colleagues across disciplinary boundaries in our newly-formed STS Research Cluster.
Excellent research opportunities in Singapore exist in the areas of new media & visual studies; biology and biotechnology; and cultural or anthropological studies of science, technology, and medicine, although applicants' interests need not be restricted to these topics, themes, and geographies.
The National University of Singapore offers generous compensation, allowances for overseas conference travel, access to grant funding, subsidized housing, one of the finest libraries in Asia, superior digital connectivity, and a stimulating, English-speaking intellectual environment. The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences is the university's largest, and is home to professors and students from dozens of countries around the world. Interviews will begin in August of 2007, in Singapore, and will continue until all positions are filled.
Candidates should submit a CV, an article-length writing sample, and the names & addresses of three references (including email addresses). Please tell us in the cover letter why you are applying for the position and something about your research agenda. Applications can be submitted electronically to [log in to unmask], or to: STS Research Cluster, DRGS, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, National University of Singapore, The Shaw Foundation Building, Block AS7, Level 6, 5 Arts Link, Singapore 117570.
