My department at Uppsala university has just announced two open PhD positions: one in history of science and the other in history of ideas. We research, for example, colonial history of science, history of medicine, and intellectual history. Deadline: 8 April

I currently have two fully-funded PhD opportunities in my lab - both providing a chance to work on the incredible LEAF data set that we have been collecting the last couple of years (220 children followed longitudinally from 10-30 months on measures of attention and early EF). Please share!

It has begun: my department was in negotiations with an outstanding scientist for a faculty position. That faculty candidate has now withdrawn citing political upheaval, and is strongly considering moving her career to Europe. The US is no longer the premiere destination for research scientists.
