The Department for History of Science and Ideas, Uppsala University, announces two 4-year PhD positions.
The origins of the department go back to the inauguration of the first chair in Idé- och lärdomshistoria in 1932. Since then the department has expanded enormously and meanwhile an additional chair in History of Science with its own research unit, Office for History of Science has been established. Currently the whole department employs 20 teachers/researchers and 11 Ph.D.-students. History of science and ideas is taught at the undergraduate level, master’s level and at Ph.D. level. Moreover as to research, members currently undertake a broad range of research topics including History of Science, History of Philosophy, History of Medicine, Cultural History and Media History.
Research proposals in any of these fields are most welcome. Successful candidates will pursue their doctoral studies full-time and are expected to participate actively in departmental activities, by attending seminars, etc. The position might also entail teaching and other assignments. The working language in the Department is Swedish, in the Office it is English, however reading understanding and oral knowledge of Swedish is expected within the first year.
