Harvey Mudd College Hixon-Riggs Early Career Fellowship in Science and
Technology Studies

Harvey Mudd College (Claremont, California) invites applications for the
Hixon-Riggs Early Career Fellowship in Science and Technology Studies,
beginning fall 2024. Applications are invited from artists and scholars
working at the intersection of art and science, technology and society
(STS). Applicants’ methods can draw from fields in the humanities, social
sciences, and the arts, including, but not limited to anthropology, art,
design, environmental studies, gender studies, geography, history,
literature, media studies, philosophy, political science, religious
studies, and sociology. The successful candidate will have a PhD or MFA by
the time of appointment, a strong and ongoing creative practice or research
program, and the potential for excellence in teaching.

This 1 to 2-year early-career fellowship balances teaching and professional
practice. The fellow will teach two undergraduate courses per academic
year, and will be encouraged to take advantage of the resources available
to support teaching development at the Claremont Colleges. Potential
resources for artists include the Makerspace, numerous labs and shops, and
the Media Art Project space. While pursuing their own independent
research/creative practice, we expect the fellow to act as a catalyst for
conversations among faculty and students. The fellow will work with the
Hixon-Riggs director to lead a faculty reading or art-viewing group in the
first year, and to organize and host a workshop or conference in the second
year. The annual salary for the position is $85,000 and includes health
benefits. In addition, the fellow will receive a professional allowance of
$3000 per year to support travel and research/creative practice. Additional
internal funding is possible. Second-year renewal is contingent upon
successful performance in the first year.

Harvey Mudd College is a highly selective, academically challenging
institution that offers majors in the sciences, mathematics, and
engineering. Across departments, the college is committed to broadening
participation in STEM fields. This position, funded by the Hixon Riggs
Program for Responsive Science and Engineering, is housed in the Department
of Humanities, Social Sciences, and the Arts – an interdisciplinary
department supporting the college’s liberal arts program. HMC’s membership
in the Claremont Colleges consortium allows significant opportunities for
collaboration with colleagues at the other Claremont Colleges and the
Claremont Graduate University, especially in the Intercollegiate STS
Program. Situated approximately 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles,
Claremont offers easy access to LA’s cultural scene. The 2024 fellowship is
concurrent with the Southern-California-wide Getty-sponsored set of
exhibitions, PST ART: Art & Science Collide.

Preference will be given to applications received by Dec. 10, 2023.
Applicants are asked to submit: a letter of application, a CV, a
research/artist’s statement, sample work, a teaching portfolio including
testimony of effective teaching and a statement of teaching philosophy, two
sample syllabi for proposed courses, and three letters of recommendation.
In these materials, we encourage applicants to explain how this position
will advance their career goals, and to describe how a commitment to
diversity and inclusion shapes their professional work. We expect to
complete Zoom interviews by Jan. 28, 2024.

Harvey Mudd College enthusiastically welcomes applications from talented
individuals from all backgrounds. The College is an Affirmative
Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. Qualified applicants will be given
consideration for employment without regard to age, race, gender, national
origin, sexual orientation, protected veteran status, disability, or any
other characteristics protected by applicable law. Further questions may be
addressed to Rachel Mayeri, Hixon-Riggs Director and chair of the search
committee: mayeri at g.hmc.edu.
