> Post-doctoral research fellows are invited to apply for
> participation in an interdisciplinary project on Contentious
> Politics: Science, Social Science, and Social Protest. Applications
> will be accepted for one or two-year positions, beginning
> approximately August 15, 2007. The project is led by an
> interdisciplinary team that is exploring the political construction
> and social diffusion of authoritative knowledge derived from either
> the natural or social sciences, ranging from transgenic organisms
> in agriculture to models of economic development. The team is
> interested in the diffusion of social movements that construct,
> promote or contest public policies grounded in such knowledge,
> especially where such movements explicitly challenge the
> credibility of knowledge claims or the authority of the
> institutions that produce them. The project, coordinated by the
> Institute for the Social Sciences, will sponsor a seminar series,
> visiting scholars, and opportunities for multi-disciplinary
> research collaboration.
>
> Fellows will have access to the full range of university resources
> and receive an annual stipend of $50,000 plus health benefits.
> Applicants must have a Ph.D. by August 15, 2007; scholars who have
> completed their Ph.D.’s within the past five years will be
> considered. Screening of applications will begin November 15, 2006.
> Applicants should submit a curriculum vita, a brief statement of
> research interests, a writing sample, and three reference letters
