University of California, San Francisco

Historian of Medicine and/or Biomedical Sciences

The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School of Medicine seeks a Historian of Medicine and/or Biomedical Sciences, pending approval by the Dean.

Area of specialization and period are open. Junior candidates (Assistant Professors and ABDs) will only be considered if a tenured Associate or Full Professor is not hired. Candidates must be interested in developing collegial relations with clinicians and bench scientists, as well as with anthropologists and other social and behavioral scientists. Ability to generate grant/foundation income is highly desirable as is administrative and program-building experience, but scholarship excellence is the most important criteria.

Responsibilities include building formal relationships with UC Berkeley's History of Science Doctoral Program, and teaching medical students as well as graduate students in allied disciplines. For full consideration applications must be received by January 11, 2002. The search will remain open, however, until a suitable candidate is found.

Senior candidates (Associate or Full Professors) should send letter of intent, CV and selected publications as well as names of 3-5 confidential references.

Junior candidates should send a letter of intent and dossier to:
