[NOTE: This may be of interest to some who are looking at  
cross-disciplinary issues with the physical and biological sciences. --  
RBE] 
 
The Center for History of Recent Science, in the Department of History at 
The George Washington University, is offering two two-year postdoctoral 
fellowships to begin August 1998. 
 
"Recent science" comprises lines of research in physical or biological 
sciences that have been carried out for the most part by scientists who are 
still living. In effect, that means research done since the second world 
war. Work in history of recent science poses novel historiographical 
problems, notably the use of interviews and their integration with the more 
traditional materials of the historian. 
 
Inquiries and letters of application should be sent to Horace Freeland 
Judson, Director of the Center for History of Recent Science and Research 
Professor of History, The George Washington University, Washington, DC 
20052. 
 
Our Prospectus, which explains the Center, the fellowships, and recent 
science more fully, is available in hard copy form on request. 
 
To apply for a postdoctoral fellowship, send: 
 
a cover letter, briefly summarizing your background and research interests; 
curriculum vitae; a proposal of up to five pages sketching the research to 
be pursued and its relevance to the history of recent science; three 
letters of reference. 
 
Deadline is May 30, 1998. 
 
 
This notice, our prospectus, and much more information about the Center, as 
well as a calendar of events in the history and philosophy of recent 
science, are available on our website: http://www.gwu.edu/~recsci/
