Dear All,

I am writing to let you know that I have just advertised a 2-year Postdoctoral Research Associate position, for someone to join my Wellcome Trust project, ‘Law, Medicines and the Making of ‘Modern’ Healthcare’.  Full details for the post are available here: https://jobs.kent.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?ref=SS-002-19

The project is focused on the regulation of alternative and traditional medicine in Europe and Africa, and seeks to interrogate the histories and context of these contemporary legal systems, and their effects on health practices. It cuts across a number of disciplines including socio-legal studies, Science and Technology Studies, medical anthropology and the history of medicine (further details on the project are available on our website https://research.kent.ac.uk/lawmedicalknowledges ). Candidates from each of these disciplinary backgrounds are welcome to apply, although they should have previously engaged with questions of law and regulation (but this can be from a number of perspectives).

I would be grateful if you could circulate the ad to relevant mailing lists and contacts to whom you think this might be of interest, and of course I am very happy to be contacted informally for any queries.

Very best wishes,

Emilie
