).

IFRIS welcomes science, technology and society scholars in all the social
sciences: history, sociology, political sciences, anthropology, economics,
management sciences or law.

The post-doc candidates should propose original research projects that fit
within the framework of IFRIS four strategic orientations, which are
detailed on IFRIS website
<http://ifris.us8.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=7a01c7e62e5d7312e9cdb6fb1&id=2917f8695d&e=b51b156503>
:

   - Responsible innovation
   - The transformation of knowledge regimes and knowledge institutions
   - The government of system earth
   - Construction of futures

 As can be seen, STS can be understood in a broad sense of issues related
to the production and use of science and technologies in societies.
Specific issues tackled by the post-doctoral project may relate to public
health, biomedicine, agricultural sciences, food security, climate change,
biodiversity, environmental questions, ICT, “big data” and internet,
historical and social construction of technologies, risk and regulation,
development and research policies, global distribution of knowledge,
intellectual and property rights and global commons, circulation of
knowledge, construction of public research policies, multilevel governance
of science and technology, knowledge and local development, regimes of
regulations and production of sciences and innovation in society.

Selected candidates will be attached to one of the following IFRIS research
units (name and acronym is followed by the scientific organisation to which
the unit is attached). See the website links for more details on these
units.

*Candidates do not need to have previous knowledge of these research
groups.* Nonetheless, it might be useful for them to consult their websites
or take contacts that might help them design their research project.
Contacts can be made through the IFRIS Secretariat

doctoral degree) and should have already fulfilled all the obligations for
the acquisition of their doctoral degree (certified by their supervisor).

Eligible post-doc candidates that have still not received their doctoral
degree at the time of the closing of this competition, may compete under
the provision that they will finish their doctoral obligations within 2015,
as certified by their supervisor.

Candidates cannot apply for a post-doc position within a research group
where they have prepared their doctoral research work.
*Applications:*

Formal applications should be sent through a two step procedure.
*Step one*

Candidates should send *by March 31* research proposals, composed of:

   - A one page Curriculum Vitae. The Vitae should indicate diplomas,
   trajectory, places and institutions where the candidate has worked and
   studied. Previous post-docs should be indicated in case there has been any.
   - A complete list of publications.

   abstract of the project will state its object, objective, methodology,
   theoretical position, type of empirical material, research strategy, and
   motivations for the choice of the topic. The positioning and problematic of
   the project respect to other work is of importance in this summary.
   - A cover letter written by the candidate to indicate the way they
   believe their project contributes to IFRIS research agenda. The candidate
   should indicate her or his former relations to IFRIS research units, in
   case they exist. Candidates are *not* requested to indicate in which
   IFRIS research unit, but nevertheless can do so.

If the proposal is selected, the candidate will receive feedback on the
project, its possible integration of research units of IFRIS and will be
requested to send a full project (see below).
*Step two*

Selected candidates in step one should send *by April 13,* research
proposals composed of:

   - A complete list of publications.
   - A research project (No more than ten pages). The project should be
   written in English, including a plan of activities for the whole 24 months
   period and a tentative budget. The project should clearly state its
   objective, methodology, theoretical position, type and mode of collection
   of empirical material, research strategy, and expected outcomes. It should
   also indicate the type of expected production out of this period of time
   (workshops, book, articles, or any other envisioned material).
   - The research project should clearly indicate how it contributes to the
   consolidation to the research agenda of IFRIS which are presented on IFRIS
   website (see selection criteria below).
