Dear colleagues please feel free to circulate this announcement to any potentially interested colleagues, newsletters and e-lists... many thanks in advance, All the best, Christophe Bonneuil ----------- Post-doc announcement for 2011-2012 : science and politics of biodiversity markets The Centre A. Koyré for History of Science & Technology<http://www.koyre.cnrs.fr/> and the Ile de France Research Network on Sustainability Research<http://www.r2ds-ile-de-france.com/> (R2DS) offer a post-doc fellowship to study emerging financial markets of biodiversity offset, and the financialization of biodiversity. The position is based in Paris, with Christophe Bonneuil (Centre A. Koyré, Cnrs & Ehess) and Valérie Boisvert (IRD, UMR GRED) as principal investigators. This is a 12-month position (with a possible 6-month extension) with an annual stipend of 24.800 Euros (netto). An additional budget is available for fieldwork. The research will include an analysis of the actors (NGO and Foundations, IOs, Governments, Firms) that are promoting market-based instruments for the conservation of biodiversity at the global scale. It will also study how such biodiversity offset markets have come into being through scientific/metrological efforts to 'make things the same' (MacKenzie, 2009) across different sites, habitats, species across the world. In particular, the research will focus on how actors have struggled to develop standard calculation methods of the "no net loss". As the research will include several months of fieldwork in the United States, we welcome particularly English-speaking candidates. Candidates must have a PhD in Science Studies, Sociology, Ecological Economics, Anthropology or in Political Sciences Interested candidates can contact us for more details ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>, [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>). Candidates should send a CV, a one-page letter of motivation relating to the research project, and two letters of recommendation before April 20, 2011. The position could start on June 1st, or September, 1st . -- Christophe BONNEUIL Chargé de recherche au CNRS et associé Inra-SenS, IFRIS Editeur aux Editions du Seuil [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://www.koyre.cnrs.fr/spip.php?article90 Centre Koyré d'Hist. des Sciences et des Techniques (UMR CNRS-Ehess-MNHN) MNHN CP25. 57 rue Cuvier. 75231 Paris cedex 05 tel. 01 73 73 35 64 / 06 34 16 71 59 science-democracy-network [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> leave-55614-86586.93b8a4d5638f9c2384557e84df010...@lists.ksg.harvard.edu<mailto:leave-55614-86586.93b8a4d5638f9c2384557e84df010...@lists.ksg.harvard.edu> http://lists.ksg.harvard.edu/u?id=86586.93b8a4d5638f9c2384557e84df0101d6&n=T&l=science-democracy-network&o=55614
