*Anthropology, Science & Technology Studies*
The Technoscience and Regulation Research Unit at Dalhousie University
is engaged in multi-sited ethnographic studies which critically examine
the relationship between the biosciences, industry, policy, and
citizens. Our work is located in laboratories (public and private,
developed and developing countries) where molecules begin to become
medicines, biotechnological and pharmaceutical corporate offices, or
government regulatory agencies. Our research team (led by Dr. Janice
Graham, a medical anthropologist and Canada Research Chair) invites
disciplinary diversity including anthropologists and sociologists of
medicine, science and technology, molecular biologists, political
scientists, bioethicists, lawyers and historians of regulation.
Candidates for the two-year postdoctoral positions should have a
completed PhD in a relevant discipline. We expect the project to focus
on actor-network cultures in laboratory, regulatory and other
technoscience settings. Specifics, including date of commencement, are
negotiable as determined by the expertise and interests of the
successful applicant.
As funding is also available for a doctoral studentship, we welcome
prospective doctoral students interested in working in this area of
research to contact us.
Candidates should send: (1) a curriculum vitae; (2) a statement of
short- and long-term career goals that includes identification of
ongoing research interests and suggested projects; (3) name, affiliation
and contact information for 3 referees; (4) writing samples; and (5)
university transcripts, to:
