I have attached an ad for a post-doctoral researcher looking at scientific ambiguity and change. I would very much appreciate having circulated to relevant lists. </div>

<span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">We seek to hire a post-doctoral researcher to advance a project focused on destabilization of knowledge claims, science communication, and organizational strategies in the field of environmental conservation.
The empirical focus of the project is the monarch butterfly and new claims that challenge a received wisdom that populations of monarchs are rapidly declining. Other recent data supports the conventional wisdom of declining populations in the face of increasing
threats and challenges. As a charismatic terrestrial invertebrate, and because of spectacular fidelity exhibited in its long distance migration (>5000 km) across North America and its choice of host plant, the monarch enjoys a status as a conservation icon.
As an icon, this butterfly plays a role in public and policy-oriented communication; it may also serve to structure organizational programming in both cognitive and strategic terms. We seek to study how individuals and organizations respond to knowledge claims
and counter-claims and engage with biological science and scientists. The successful candidate will draw on and contribute to literatures on science studies, science communication, sociology of science, environmental sociology and/or other related fields.
Interest in reading and interpreting the biological literature relating to the monarch’s ecology would be helpful. </span></div>
