[STS-Africa] IFRIS 2014 Call for Applications for Post Doctoral positions

[Mathieu Quet]

5 post-doctoral positions are available at the French Institute "Research,
Innovation, Society" (Institut Francilien Recherche, Innovation, Société -
http://ifris.org/en/). IFRIS welcomes STS scholars, historians,
sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists, economists, people
working on management sciences or law, and who work on the production,
regulation and uses of science and technologies in societies. Research may
concern a variety of issues including public health and biomedicine,
agricultural sciences and food security, climate change, biodiversity and
environmental questions, ICT, big data and internet, regimes of sciences
and innovation in society, as well as theoretical questions.

The post-doc fellows selected will undertake an original research project
that fits with IFRIS lines of research, notably on the following topics:

   - Innovation processes, notably bottom up, "responsible" or "social"
   innovation
   - Socio-technical transitions and government/governance of change
   - Property rights and commons
   - Regulation of techno-scientific activities and their products
   - Multi-level governance and scales of government
   - Knowledge and the government of the scientific public sphere
   - Regimes and institutions of knowledge
   - Construction of futures

Post-doc fellows will be hosted by one of the IFRIS Research Groups. We
highly recommend contacting them as soon as possible since a good
integration in the groups is one of the core objectives of the IFRIS
