The University of King’s College and Dalhousie University announce a
postdoctoral fellowship award in Science and Technology Studies (STS)/
History and Philosophy of Science, Technology and Medicine (HPSTM),
associated with the SSHRC Partnership Development Grant, “Cosmopolitanism
and the Local in Science and Nature: Creating an East/West Partnership,” a
partnership development between institutions in Canada, India and Southeast
Asia aimed at establishing an East/West research network on
“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
description of the project can be found at: www.CosmoLocal.org
<http://wordpress.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2d4375ec5dc6ff29d727d7830&id=9a4eb4baad&e=07a32a0bb9>

*Funding and Duration:*
The position provides a base salary equivalent to $35,220 plus benefits
(EI, CPP, Medical and Dental), and with the possibility of augmenting the
salary through teaching or other awards, depending on the host department.
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
negotiation and candidate’s schedule. Contingent on budget and project
requirements, the fellowship may be extended for a second year with an
annual increase as per institutional standards.

*Eligibility: *
The appointment will be housed at University of King’s College and/or in
one of the departments of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at

finished his or her PhD in 2010 is eligible to be a Postdoctoral Fellow
until December 2016.

In addition to carrying out independent or collaborative research under the

successful candidate will be expected to take a leadership role in
the Cosmopolitanism project, to actively coordinate the development of the

and outreach. International candidates need a work permit and SIN.

*Research:*
While the research topic is open and we encourage applications from a wide

interest in the topics addressed in the Cosmopolitanism project. The

Cosmopolitanism co-applicants. Information on each is available on the
