“Cosmopolitanism” in science. The project closely examines the ideas,
processes and negotiations that inform the development of science and
scientific cultures within an increasingly globalized landscape. A detailed

The fellow would be entitled to benefits offered by University of King’s
College or Dalhousie University. The successful applicant will begin their
12-month appointment between April 1st and July 1st, 2015, subject to
