Princeton University Cullom Davis Center Postdoctoral Position in “Truth and Information” Program

Deadline:

January 5, 2024

Length/Track:

One year with possible renewal for a second

Description:

“The successful candidate will work on the historical evolution of regimes and practices of establishing, telling, and writing truth. We understand the notion of truth broadly: as a philosophical and epistemological category, an ideal of social equity and political justice, and a principle governing historical writing, legal, and scientific investigation. We invite historians who study the role of ideology, religion, informational technology, and media in the historical evolution of truth. We are also interested in projects on the history of lying, deception, and misinformation. Topics may include (but are not limited to) the use and misuse of facts in political propaganda, problems of evidence and objectivity, authenticity and source criticism, fakes, forgery and conspiracy theories, and diplomatic, inter- and intra-national reconciliation. We are especially interested in candidates whose work also addresses issues of race, gender, and imperialism.”
