Postdoctoral Associate - Medical Humanities
The Medical Humanities Program at Rice University seeks to appoint one postdoctoral fellow in the humanities or interpretive social sciences whose research and teaching centers on racial health equity and data justice. We are particularly interested in researchers working on these themes in relation to emerging digital health technologies such as AI/ML, VR/AR, chatbots, health apps, wearable sensors, and other technologies. Projects taking a patient- or community-centered and intersectional approach are highly desired. The Program includes faculty from diverse fields in the humanities and social sciences, has strong partnerships with science and engineering disciplines, and collaborates with numerous institutions in the Texas Medical Center and the broader Houston community. The Fellow would teach a 1/1 course load and help to build the Program’s existing strength in racial health equity and data justice in the context of medical/health humanities and critical data/software studies as we expand our applied research and partnerships in this area.
