The Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin annouces:

- Walther Rathenau postdoctoral fellowships for 2002/04
  ("Science on Screen")
- Lorenz Krueger postdoctoral fellowship for 2002/03
  (history of science/philosophy of science)

The Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin announces two
Walther Rathenau postdoctoral fellowships for 2002/04 for outstanding junior
scholars working on some aspect of "Science on Screen" - the projection of
scientific images, including the camera obscura (and lucida), magic
lanterns, photography, and film.
Projects involving any aspect of such projections in science from the 16th
century to the present are welcome.
The fellowship is for a 24 months stay at the Institute in Berlin, beginning
1 October, 2002. In addition to conducting his or her own research, the
Rathenau Fellows will help in the preparation of the Berlin Summer Academy
2003 on "Science on Screen".

Furthermore the Institute announces the Lorenz Krueger postdoctoral
fellowship for 2002/03 for an outstanding junior scholar whose current
research combines perspectives from the history of science with those of the
philosophy of science and/or the history of philosophy.
The fellowship is named in honor of the late Professor Lorenz Krueger, of
the University of Goettingen, whose work sought to connect philosophy with
the history of science. The Lorenz Krueger Fellowship is awarded for a one
year stay at the Institute in Berlin, beginning 1 October, 2002.

The fellowships are open to scholars of all nationalities who have completed
their Ph.D. no earlier than 1997 and no later than September 2002. The
stipend for applicants from abroad is 3600 DM (Euro 1.840,65) per month.
Women are encouraged to apply. Qualifications being equal, precedence will
be given to candidates with disabilities.
Applicants for both fellowships are invited to send a curriculum vitae, a
brief research proposal (maximum 1000 words), and two letters of
recommendation by 31 March, 2002 to:

Max Planck Institute for the History of Science
