Congratulations to Michael Brownstein, who has accepted a tenure track position at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT).  Here is what Michael reports about the position:


NJIT is New Jersey's public research university dedicated to science and technology. As an Assistant Professor in the Humanities Department, I'll be teaching courses for the BS in Science, Technology and Society as well as seminars for the Albert Dorman Honors College. I'll also be helping to reshape the STS major by designing new courses and will be helping to define the purpose of philosophical and humanist approaches to studying the interrelationships of science, technology and human values.

I couldn't be more excited about this position. NJIT is dedicated to multidisciplinary collaborative research to help solve contemporary social and political problems, both in the New York area and abroad, and I can't wait to pitch in.

Thank you so much to everyone at Penn State. I hope you are staying warm and are enjoying the beginning of the spring semester.

We all wish Michael the best of luck in his new position.
