Applications are invited for a 1-year postdoctoral scholar position at the
University of Georgia to undertake research at the intersections of Science,
Technology and Society (STS), participatory community research and strategic
communication that is relevant to the NSF-funded Coweeta Long Term
Ecological Research (CWT LTER) project (http://coweeta.uga.edu/). Renewal
for a second year may be possible contingent on satisfactory
performance. Coweeta
LTER researchers have initiated the Coweeta Listening Project (CLP) to
address the long-standing difficulties of ecological knowledge production
being carried out in undemocratic ways in the hopes of accelerating the
evolution from Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) to Long-Term
Socioecological Research (LTSER). In order to contribute to this project,
candidates should be qualified to carry out research related to the public
understanding of science and linkages between scientific expertise and
public participation in ecological knowledge production. Candidates should
be comfortable working within community-based participatory
methodologies. Candidates
should hold a Ph.D. in an appropriate field, including science and
technology studies, geography, anthropology, sociology, political science,
or other related fields. Interested candidates should submit a curriculum
vitae, a cover letter with a statement of research interests, a writing
sample or representative publication, and three references electronically to
Dr. Nik Heynen ([log in to unmask]), Director, Coweeta Listening Project
(CLP), University of Georgia, Department of Geography, *by November 15th,
2011* for full consideration.
Cheers,
