Source: American Association for the History of Science<\/a><\/p>\n The Eleanor Crowder Bjoring Center for Nursing Historical Inquiry (ECBCNHI) and the Religion\/Policy\/Conflict (RPC) Initiative invites applications for one full-time, fixed-term Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Fellowship position at the University of Virginia to start in the fall of 2017.<\/p>\n This position supports scholars studying the broad history of nursing and health care with a special interest in the nexus of conflict, religion, social values, and care.<\/p>\n Projects may include research on knowledge that integrates science and compassion; how nurses and other health care workers historically transformed care in conflict environments (at state, national, and transnational levels); the changing cultural and historical contexts of values towards care; the historical, political, and societal dimensions of domestic and gender-based violence; and\/or different narratives of conflict and conflict reduction that have been articulated in specific places and times.<\/p>\n Recipients must have received a PhD in the last five years and have a program of research that will advance their fields. Applicants must have well-designed and carefully developed plans for research.<\/p>\n The position is intended to provide time and resources to enable recipients to conduct their research.<\/p>\n The ultimate product is a major piece of scholarly work that will make major progress toward a book or other equally substantial form of scholarship.<\/p>\n This endeavor is intended to support one academic year of research (nine months) ($50,000).<\/p>\n
