<font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">The University of Notre Dame's new Center for Theology, Science, and Human Flourishing will start its activities in August 2015 under the direction of Prof. Celia Deane-Drummond. The Center invites applications for
two postdoctoral research appointments in the ethnography of science (each lasting three years) to begin January 2016.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 14pt; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; ">
<font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">The successful candidates will be part of a multi-disciplinary team (including psychologists, theologians, and other scholars from science & technology studies) examining the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral dispositions
that are associated with the practice of laboratory research in biology and how those dispositions might strengthen or impede human flourishing in non-scientific domains. Operating under the rubric “Developing Virtues in the Practice of Science,” this $3.1
million project funded by the Templeton Religion Trust conceptualizes these dispositions as virtues/vices in order to make connections to existing literature in psychology, theology, virtue ethics, and virtue epistemology.</font></p>

two choral ensembles as part of a control study; presenting individual and team research in professional and public forums; collaboratively designing and teaching an undergraduate course related to the project; and contributing to the project colloquia (Notre
Dame, IN, 2016; Durham, UK, 2017) and conference (London, 2018).</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 14pt; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; ">
<font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">The ideal candidates will have a PhD in anthropology, sociology, or science & technology studies; training and experience conducting ethnographic research; and strong interest in collaborating with experts from multiple
disciplines. Starting salary is $48,000 plus benefits and up to $5,000 per year in research funding.</font></p>
<font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px; ">Applicants should submit a single pdf containing a cover letter explaining your research interests and potential connections to the project, a c.v., and a writing sample to <a href="mailto:ctshf@nd.edu" target="_blank">ctshf@nd.edu</a>.
Three letters of recommendation should be sent separately (or via a dossier service) to the same address. Review of applications will begin Aug 15th and continue until the position is filled. The University of Notre Dame is an affirmative action employer with
