The successful candidate should hold a master’s degree in History, History of Science or related disciplines and is proficient in English (in written form and orally). We expect profound knowledge of areas within the field of history of the humanities and/or sciences.

Experience gained abroad is highly appreciated. Research projects which overlap with the recently emerging “history of quantification” are an advantage. In this field the legal, economic, technical and social histories of data and measurement are investigated (e.g. internationalism in standardisation, evidence and rationalisation, insurance and administration, lists and databases, history of statistics and money, technologies of privacy, metrication and colonisation).

Application documents: Applications may be submitted in German or English and should include an application letter, a short outline of the prospective research project, as well as a curriculum vitae (including publications, talks, or teaching experience if applicable) and degree certificates.

Applications including a letter of motivation (German or English) should be submitted via the Job Center to the University of Vienna (http://jobcenter.univie.ac.at) no later than 06.10.2019, mentioning reference number 9687.
