    Postdoctoral Fellowship 'History of Modern Physics'
    
    
    The Faculteit Wetenschappen en Bio-ingenieurswetenschappen, Vakgroep
    Fysica, of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel is looking for
    a postdoctoral researcher in the history of modern physical sciences
    to work on the Solvay Science Project.
    
    
    Description:
    
    The International Solvay Institutes owe their existence to the
    vision of Ernest Solvay, founder of the International Institute for
    Physics (1912) and its counterpart for Chemistry (1913). Pursuing
    his legacy, the Solvay family created in 1970 the International
    Solvay Institutes in association with the Université Libre de
    Bruxelles (ULB) and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB). As a token
    of the Institutes’ dedication for scientific research, physicists
    and chemists have joined forces with historians and archivists to
    launch the Solvay Science Project, a multilingual
    virtual exhibit showcasing a selection of first-hand documents and
    images from the archival collections of the International Solvay
    Institutes.
    
    Duties and responsibilities:
    
    You will contribute to feed the Solvay Science Project website, i.a.
    by writing contextual essays alongside the digital resources;
    
    
    You will advance your own research agenda by producing original
    research leading to academic publications, policy analyses, blog
    posts, or similar outputs;
    
    
    You will work closely with researchers and faculty from the VUB and
    the ULB to engage in outreach activities, as well as to provide
    administrative support, for the Solvay Science Project;
    
    
    You will dedicate as much as half of your time to the project by
    consulting the historical archives of the International Solvay
    Institutes held at the ULB; 
    
    For this function, our Brussels Humanities, Sciences &
    Engineering Campus (Elsene/Ixelles) will serve as your home base.
