[spsp-members] Three post-docs for study of interdisciplinary research

[Elihu M. Gerson]

Three post-doctoral research fellowships for a sociological study of 
interdisciplinary research are available at the UC Davis Philosophy 
Department. The fellowships are for a period of two years, and start no 
later than January 1, 2025. Location of residence is open. The project 
is devoted to a study of https://www.biologicalpurpose.org/ and 
follow-on projects, and draws on sociology of work, science, and 
organizations; philosophy of biology; and familiarity with evolutionary 
biology, and related areas. Competence in at least one of these areas is 
required, and familiarity with additional areas is a major advantage.

One fellow will be appointed to assist with the bibliometric and network 
analysis parts of the study. The fellow will have a strong background in 
data science, as well as familiarity with obtaining and working with 
bibliometric and network data on the scientific community.

Two fellows will be appointed to assist with interviewing, analysis of 
data, and conceptual activities. Familiarity with qualitative social 
science methods is a significant advantage for these positions.

Although the project is a team effort fellows will be encouraged to work 
independently as well, and develop their own research projects within 
the broad scope of the larger project.

Interested candidates should send a letter of interest, writing sample, 
and CV to

https://ucdavis.app.box.com/f/5b681f97d589470db81051a1bb9212f1

by *April 15, 2024*. All three filenames should begin 
“Lastname-Firstname” followed by either “CV” or “letter” or “writing 
sample” and end in “.pdf ”, e.g. “Griesemer-James CV.pdf”

We hope to have a final decision by June 1, 2024.
