The National Science Foundation Center for Nanotechnology in Society

at the University of California, Santa Barbara has immediate openings

for 1-2 postdoctoral research positions for scholars interested in

societal aspects of emerging technologies, with a particular focus on

nanotechnology. Successful candidates will contribute to one of three

collaborative Interdisciplinary Research Groups (IRGs) addressing:

1) the historical context of nanoscience and technology;

2) the effects of nanotech R&D and policy on economic development in the global

economy, with regional focus on East Asia and Latin America; or

3) multiple party risk perception and public deliberation in US, Europe

and Asia.

Applicants may either propose a new project within the scope of the IRG or, in

some instances, apply to join an ongoing project. See cns.ucsb.edu for further

information about CNS-UCSB activities and application procedures.
