This sounds fantastic. Were I only finished my PhD I would jump at this! Very heartening to see that interest in scientific praxis is expanding to include exploration of the history, development and guiding philosophies of scientia. Graduate students and the scientific community as a whole could benefit greatly if graduate programs added a mandatory course in HPS to their course roster. Best of luck filling this position.
