The Max Planck Society and the Department of History and Cultural  
Studies at the Freie Universität Berlin jointly invite applications  
for a

Professorship in the History of Knowledge (W2; 5 years)
combined with a position as an

Independent Junior Research Group Leader
at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science.

The successful applicant will serve as an Independent Junior Research  
Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science  
(MPIWG). She or he will be required to cover the area named above in  
research and teaching (with a reduced teaching load of one course per  
semester) at the Freie Universität Berlin.

In accordance with article 100 of the Berlin Higher Education Act  
(Berliner Hochschulgesetz), a Habilitation, junior professorship, or  
equivalent postdoctoral qualification is required. For this position,  
it is necessary that the nominee received her or his Ph.D. no longer  
than five years ago.

The appointee will have a distinguished research background in the  
history of science and/or knowledge, either directly or as a focal  
area within her or his social science, humanities, engineering, or  
science discipline, or interdisciplinary field of study (e.g., area  
studies, cultural studies, or history of technology). It is expected  
that applicants be highly qualified for the position as a Junior  
Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for the History of  
Science. In addition to administrative support and the working  
opportunities at the institute, the endowment will include funds to  
employ a research assistant, to invite visiting scholars, and to award  
scholarships. Furthermore, she or he will possess an outstanding track  
record of successful university teaching and research with a strong  
international component. Experience with sponsored research is  
desirable.

The successful applicant will be required to participate in the Max  
Planck Institute’s cooperation ventures in the history of knowledge  
with Berlin universities, as well as in other existing and projected  
joint research projects.

The rank of this fixed-tenure vacancy is W2. The successful candidate  
will be appointed for five years as a salaried employee with terms and  
conditions comparable to those of a civil servant.

The Freie Universität Berlin and the Max Planck Society are equal  
opportunity employers.

Applications quoting the reference code Wissensgeschichte must be  
received at the address below by November 19th, 2009.

Complete applications will include: a cover letter describing the  
applicant’s interest in the position and relevant experience; a  
curriculum vitae with three letters of recommendation; a list of  
publications; a brief outline of intended research (no longer than 750

The MPIWG in Berlin is one of eighty research institutes in the  
natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities administered by the  
Max Planck Society. It was established in 1994 as an international  
research center for the history of science in Germany. Researchers at  
the MPIWG investigate how new categories of thought, proof, and  
experience have emerged in the centuries-long interaction between the  
sciences and their ambient cultures.

The Freie Universität Berlin is a public university with some 33,000  
students and 380 full and junior professors or junior professors. The  
FU Berlin has 11 departments and schools structured into more than 70  
institutes - not counting the Charité medical center, which  
incorporates the medical schools of both the Freie Universität and the  
Humboldt University. In 2007, the findings of a German government  
initiative to promote excellence in teaching and research appraised  
the Freie Universität Berlin as one of the nation’s leading  
institutions of higher education.
