[ecrea] Job opening: University Lectureship in the Sociology of Science and Technology (University of Cambridge)

University Lecturer in the Sociology of Science and Technology
(University of Cambridge)

The Department of Sociology is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified
individual to a University Lectureship in the Sociology of Science and
Technology preferably from September 2016. The post is supported by the
Trinity Joint Lectureship Scheme, and the successful candidate will be
expected to take up a Fellowship at Robinson College.

We encourage applications from scholars working in any area of the
sociology of science and technology, including (but not restricted to)
sociological work on medicine and the life sciences, on biotechnology
and the biotech industries, on digital technologies and their social and
political impact, and on social aspects of the environment and climate
change. This appointment fits closely with the broader research strategy
of the School of the Humanities and Social Sciences and the University
as it seeks to strengthen collaborative research between the social
sciences and natural sciences, and could contribute to one or more
existing strategic research initiatives, such as those concerned with
stem cells, Big Data, Public Policy and the Digital Society.

The person appointed will be required to have a strong publication
record of international standing. Lecturers are expected to raise
research grants and make a substantial contribution to the undergraduate
and graduate teaching in the Department.

Sociology is part of the Faculty of Human, Social and Political Sciences
(HSPS), along with the Department of Politics and International
Relations, and the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology. The
Faculty sits within the School of the Humanities and Social Sciences.
The Department of Sociology has a strong research profile and the
successful applicant will be expected to have an excellent track record
in research. All our teaching staff are expected to be entered into
future rounds of the Research Excellence Framework, and we expect to
submit work of international standing for all our returned staff.
Applicants should have a degree and postgraduate qualification in
sociology or a related social science, significant experience in the
sociology of science and technology, a proven track record of published
work and winning research grant funding, as well as excellent teaching,
organisational, administrative and interpersonal skills.

The current pensionable stipends are: £39,896 - £49,230 (Lecturer,
University Grade 9). In exceptional circumstances, it may be possible to
offer a supplement to the salary range stated for this post of up to
£5,000. Any such supplement would be awarded on the basis of a
demonstrable history of outstanding achievement and an expected future
level of contribution and is entirely at the discretion of the University.

Interviews will be held in May 2016. Full details in the Further
Particulars.
