IFRIS welcomes STS scholars, historians, sociologists,
political scientists, anthropologists, economists, people
working on management sciences or law, and who work on
the production, regulation and uses of science and technologies
in societies. Research may concern a variety of issues including
public health and biomedicine, agricultural sciences and food
security, climate change, biodiversity and environmental
questions, ICT, big data and internet, regimes of sciences and
innovation in society, as well as theoretical questions.
The post-doc fellows selected will undertake an original
research project that fits with IFRIS lines of research, notably
on the following topics:
Innovation processes, notably bottom up, "responsible" or
social innovation
Socio-technical transitions and government/governance of
change
Property rights and commons
Regulation of techno-scientific activities and their products
Multi-level governance and scales of government
Knowledge and the government of the scientific public sphere
Regimes and institutions of knowledge
Construction of futures
Post-doc fellows will be hosted by one of the IFRIS Research
Groups. We highly recommend contacting them as soon as possible
since a good integration in the groups is one of the core
