Our overarching strategy is to advance the physical sciences with... a unifying voice of strength from diversity. We want you to become a part of our mission and join our dynamic team!

SUMMARY:

AIP is looking for a Historian to join its history program within the new AIP Research team. The Historian’s work will support AIP’s goal to advance the physical sciences enterprise through research and analysis aimed at improving the understanding of the past and promoting future progress. The Historian is responsible for conducting research in the history of the physical sciences, writing and editing content that is both accessible and sophisticated, developing web-based resources, and liaising with the history and physical sciences communities.

The Historian will share responsibilities for managing and contributing to AIP’s renowned oral history program, developing a new communications vehicle for AIP’s history programs, and programming compelling live events. The Historian will be integral to efforts to build up AIP’s history programs — and AIP Research as a whole — as a recognized hub of authoritative research and expertise on the physical sciences enterprise. The Historian will report to AIP’s Director of Research in History, Policy, and Culture and collaborate with AIP’s historians, social scientists, librarians, archivists, science writers, and policy analysts.

Come join a team of energized, charismatic, collaborative, and passionate individuals and help make a difference through the physical sciences!

WHAT YOU’LL DO:
• Contribute to research and writing projects selected by the director, and independently propose and manage other projects. These projects will mainly be web-based historical resources that adhere to high standards of scholarly quality and are accessible and engaging to a wide range of stakeholders in the physical sciences community and beyond.
• Contribute to grant proposals to seek external funding from federal agencies, nonprofit foundations, and donors.
• Publish one short article on AIP’s digital platform every few weeks, as well as contribute to the publication of the AIP’s semiannual History Newsletter. Publication opportunities will also be available in other AIP products such as Physics Today and the FYI science policy news service.
• Arrange and conduct oral history interviews, contribute to the administrative work necessary to publicly post oral history transcripts, and collaborate on continuous improvement efforts for oral history programs and workflows.
• Help organize AIP’s public event series for history and occasional conferences and workshops.
• Work with external stakeholders, including stakeholders from AIP Member Societies, cultural history professionals, and a wide range of physical sciences stakeholders to develop strategies for documenting history and promoting AIP’s work in history with different audiences.
• Contribute to the strategic development of AIP’s history portfolio in support of AIP’s work to advance the physical sciences with a unifying voice of strength from diversity; depending on experience and staffing levels, the Historian may have supervisory responsibilities over interns and research staff.
• Give talks and presentations on research and programs at relevant meetings and events and publish in peer-reviewed journals as appropriate.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING:
• Individuals with a bachelor’s or master’s degree in a relevant field and who have at least three years of relevant experience, or individuals with a PhD in a relevant field. Experience in history of science with a focus in the modern physical sciences or science policy is preferred, but individuals with backgrounds in fields such as philosophy, sociology, or anthropology of science, or science policy will also be happily considered.
• An ability to write clearly, cogently, and analytically, and a writing/publication record sufficient to gauge writing abilities.
• Strong organizational abilities; experience planning, managing, and coordinating complex projects; responsiveness in communications conscientiousness toward colleagues; and an ability to meet both short-term and long-term deadlines.
• Comfort in working with important stakeholders, including in scientific societies, universities, museums and archives, and government science agencies and labs.
• A willingness to undertake occasional travel, including international travel, for research and oral history purposes, conferences, and other events.
• An ability to work both collaboratively and independently.
• Optionally, an ability to work with data (e.g., historical budget data, demographic data) and in digital media.
