The Cultures of Energy research group at Rice University seeks a one-year postdoctoral fellow for the 2013-14 academic year.

 

Over the past two years, Cultures of Energy has worked to incubate multi-disciplinary humanistic collaboration and scholarly inquiry on matters of energy and environmental transition. A key goal of the research group is to establish humanistic and social scientific scholarship as a dynamic and integral part of public debate over energy choices and energy futures. The 2013/14 postdoctoral fellow will play an active role in the process of establishing the first research center in the world devoted specifically to cultivating energy and environmental research in the humanities and social sciences. Rice University has recently announced a five-year cross-campus Energy and Environment Initiative (E2I) within which Cultures of Energy is a founding research cluster. More details on Cultures of Energy can be found at http://www.culturesofenergy.com

 

We seek excellent scholars whose research and teaching interests focus on energy and energy transitions or on the environmental impacts of energy use such as climate change. We welcome applicants from any discipline or interdiscipline in the human sciences including, but not limited to, anthropology, art history, history, literary studies, philosophy, religious studies, sociology and the arts.

 

The fellow will take part in a faculty working group, help organize a campus-wide speakers series, and design and teach two courses, one semester-long introductory-level undergraduate course on energy and environmental humanities and one upper-level seminar course in her or his home discipline. The fellow will receive $50,000 per year, benefits eligibility, and a $5,000 allowance for research and relocation.
