Cortada discusses the key findings from his new book, All the Facts: A History of Information in the United States Since 1870. He will also introduce a framework for studying information history that can be applied at the national level and in more narrowly focused studies. His discussion will review the role of information in the private and public sectors, also how people used information in their public and private lives, and conclude with an argument in favor of understanding the role of information as a central theme in American history.

The PhD project is part of a new research program with three sub-projects on formative effects of new incentive and reward structures in biomedicine. The research program seeks to explore national and institutional forms of regulation that emerge from new incentives to align biomedicine with societal needs, and the effects of these incentives on research content, researchers? behavior, and scientific careers. The research program is embedded in a larger research strand at CWTS on the interactions between research evaluation and knowledge production (https://www.cwts.nl/research/working-groups/evaluation-practices-in-context), and is part of an ongoing collaboration with the University Medical Center Utrecht. The UMC Utrecht is a national front-runner in the integration of research and patient care by implementing concrete new assessment criteria and policy-level actions aimed at improving its impact. The three sub-projects in the research program will analyze the formative effects of these new criteria and actions at the institutional, research program, and individual level. The PhD project we are currently advertising aims at understanding the interactions between new incentives, metrics, and knowledge production at the level of new multidisciplinary biomedical /research programs/. Concretely, the project will chart: ?How research questions, methods for data gathering and analysis, and authorship practices are being negotiated in these multi-disciplinary programs; ?How and what kinds of collaboration are being formed between individuals, subfields, institutions, and societal stakeholders; ?Whether there are particular barriers to effective implementation of new incentives and metrics to align research with clinical needs. Requirements ?A Master?s degree in Science and Technology Studies, /or /one of the Social Sciences or Life Sciences in combination with STS; ?Strong skills in designing, organizing and executing qualitative research, especially interviews and ethnographic fieldwork; ?Fluency in spoken English and excellent writing skills in English. Fluency in Dutch is considered an asset, but not a condition; ?Strong analytical capacity; ?Willingness and proven ability to work independently*,* but also to execute the research project in concordance with the other subprojects in the program. Conditions We offer a full-time, one year term position, with the possibility of renewal for another three years based on performance. Salary range from ? 2,191.- to ? 2,801.- gross per month (pay scale P)*,* in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities). Universiteit Leiden offers an attractive benefits package with additional holiday (8%) and end-of-year bonuses(8.3 %), training and career development and sabbatical leave. Our individual choices model gives you some freedom to assemble your own set of terms and conditions. Candidates from outside the Netherlands may be eligible for a substantial tax break. *Diversity** *Universiteit Leiden is strongly committed to diversity within its community and especially welcomes applications from members of underrepresented groups. Employer The research group led by Sarah de Rijcke at the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) focuses on a) developing a theoretical framework on the politics of contemporary research assessment; b) gaining a deep empirical understanding of how formal and informal evaluation practices are re-shaping academic knowledge production; c) contributing to shaping contemporary debates on responsible research evaluation and metrics uses (including policy implications). The program is situated at the intersection of Science and Technology Studies and the sociology and anthropology of science. Leiden University Leiden is a typical university city, hosting the oldest university in the Netherlands (1575). The University permeates the local surroundings; University premises are scattered throughout the city, and the students who live and study in Leiden give the city its relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere. Leiden University is one of Europe's foremost research universities. This prominent position gives our graduates a leading edge in applying for academic posts and for functions outside academia.

If you have an idea for a speaker or topic, or if you would like to present at the Symposium, please email me directly. We look forward to "seeing" you in April! Thanks, Jeremy 2017 Virtual Symposium on Information and Technology in the Arts and Humanities *The Information and the Technology of Open Humanities* April 18 & 19, 2017 12-4:30pm ET/9-1:30PM PT http://bit.ly/VISitAH17 The theme for the 2017 Symposium is *The Information and the Technology of Open Humanities*. Digital technology has had a profound impact on scientific and scholarly communication. This includes fundamental changes to how individuals and groups find information, carry out collaborative projects, and publish, assess, and preserve growing amounts of content. In the sciences, the idea of open research processes and dissemination is inherent in changing research practices; but how are the concepts related to *Open Science* applied to research in, and about, disciplines in the Humanities? Potential speakers will discuss research using open humanities-related content and on topics including: Open information retrieval Collaborative research methods Digital publishing Open access Data curation and sharing Linked data/linked open data Social media or Web 2.0 Open Source technology Research assessment Additional details, including scheduled speakers and access information, will be made available in early 2017. Please check this site or RSVP for updates. RSVP ? http://bit.ly/RSVP17Symp In conjunction with the Virtual Symposium, we are proud to once again sponsor a Student Research Award in 2017. SIG AH and SIG VIS are seeking previously unpublished research for a Master?s and a PhD Student Research Award related to the theme of *Open Humanities*.
