An amateur historian and AHA life-member invites professional historians to collaborate on free-lance research projects.

The historian should have doctoral training in history. The research topic will be selected by the historian but should be within the domains of science, biology, technology, bioethics, or medicine. Its focus may be negotiated and modified by the sponsor. The candidate will be responsible for conducting the investigation and for providing progress reports. The primary aim of this collaboration is to publish the work in a highly competitive journal, and if desired by the candidate, presentation of research findings at AHA meetings. The sponsor will participate in redirecting the focus of the research proposal and in editing or modifying the completed manuscript prior to submission. The candidate and sponsor would be co-authors on the published article.

To apply: submit the following materials: 1) curriculum vitae; and 2) cover letter explaining qualifications, accomplishments in research and teaching, and collaborative research efforts. The application should be submitted electronically to Sukumar Desai at mayone53@gmail.com

The sponsor will be supporting this collaboration from personal funds, but a generous honorarium will be provided on successful completion of the research.
