USA: Postdoctoral Teaching Fellowship in Aerospace History 2010/2011

Overview

The Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West (ICW) and the Department of History at the University of Southern California together seek applications from recent PhDs for a new one-year postdoctoral teaching fellowship, with possibility of an additional year reappointment, beginning in the fall of 2010.

The postdoctoral position will include research activities at the Huntington Library and teaching at the USC College of Letters, Arts & Sciences. The fellowship is part of the Aerospace History Project, which is documenting the history of Southern California aerospace through archival collections and oral history, with a variety of perspectives from technology to labor, social history, popular culture, and the environment. Fellows may capitalize on the new archival collections for their research and will assist with the oral history program. Candidates should have background in aerospace history; history of science and technology; history of California and the West; or relevant fields; experience with oral history is desirable.

Eligible Candidates

Candidates must have completed their PhD by June 2010, or have been awarded their Ph.D. within five years of initial appointment. The fellowship is primarily funded by the National Science Foundation. Fellows will be hired as University of Southern California employees and receive university benefits and a competitive salary.


The Institute on California and the West is a research and teaching collaboration between the Huntington Library and the University of Southern California (www.usc.edu/icw).
