Applications are invited for a three-year Postdoctoral Research Fellow
position in the History, Philosophy, & Sociology of Science in the Black
Hole Initiative (BHI) at Harvard University and the Smithsonian
Astrophysical Observatory (SAO). We are looking for candidates interested
in a full range of questions regarding black holes, black hole observation,
theory, or cultural resonance. The BHI is the first interdisciplinary

Engelhardt (Physics); as well as SAO astronomer Sheperd Doeleman
(Astronomy; Director of the next generation Event Horizon Telescope
project).
Successful candidates will have the opportunity to interact and work
researchers engaging with aspects of fundamental physics, such as the
information paradox, stability of spacetime, accretion flows, and the wide
range of historical, philosophical, and STS topics (including HPS/STS)
involved in the next generation Event Horizon Telescope.
Starting date for BHI postdoctoral fellows is September 1, 2023.
