[STS-Africa] PhD and postdoc positions in the ERAfrica project: pre-announcement

[Luisa Reis de Castro]

*Pre-announcement of PhD and postdoc positions in the ERAfrica project
'Addressing societal challenges of biotechnology in Africa. Towards
balanced innovation'.*

Recently the Program board of the ERAfrica program - a joined
European-African project - honoured a proposal that was submitted by a
consortium of 6 partners from 5 countries (South Africa, Burkina Faso,
Kenya, Belgium and the Netherlands). The University of Groningen is project
leader of this international project.

For the Dutch part of the research project we search for a PhD (4 years)
and postdoc (probably 2 years) at the Science & Society Group of the
University of Groningen. For both positions we look for candidates with
interests and educational (PhD) or professional experience (Postdoc) in
innovation studies and the role of (bio)technology in Third World
contexts.

Because the project is, due to administrative requirements, not formally
approved yet, this is only a pre-announcement. The project will probably
start on August 1, 2014.  We hope that we can appoint the candidates as
soon as possible after the start of the project. If you are interested
email to j.a.a.swart at rug.nl. We will then asap inform you if the positions
are open for applications.
