2y research assistant position on history of computing or mathematics, Oxford (England)
We are advertising a 2 year EPSRC funded research assistant post in history of computing or mathematics, to be based in the History of Mathematics group in Oxford, working with Christopher Hollings and myself. After a terrific year in Oxford, Jacob Ward, the current holder of the post, is leaving us to join the University of Maastricht as an Assistant Professor.
The new appointee will identify one or more areas in the history of computing or mathematics, and investigate both the long-term development of significant technical ideas, and their broader circulation and impact within and beyond academia. The post-holder will also have the opportunity to work with the Bodleian Library and major museums on novel ways to present their research findings to the public, and be part of broader thinking in Oxford around 'The History of the Future'.
