#Germany #postdoc #history_of_science Postdoctoral Scholar, The Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG) Department II: Knowledge Systems and Collective Life, led by Dr. Etienne Benson, seeks to appoint a Postdoctoral Scholar for three years, with employment contract starting on September 1, 2025. Researchers in Department II use historical and ethnographic methods to study the relationship between knowledge systems and forms of collective life in the past and present. This position is connected to the department’s ongoing research on the theme “From Trust in Science to Knowledge in Relation.” We are especially interested in proposals for research projects that offer historical perspective on contemporary relationships between science and politics in liberal democracies, including histories of academic freedom and political speech at universities and research institutions. The proposed research should situate current controversies within longer historical trajectories and in relation to broader political, social, and economic contexts, while also critically reflecting on the historical production and contestation of concepts such as academic freedom, liberal democracy, and the scientific community. Deadline: January 3, 2025. Ссылка скрыта
