Application Deadline: 23/05/2022 23:59 - Europe/Brussels
Location: France › MARNE LA VALLEE
Type Of Contract: Temporary

Offer Starting Date: 01/09/2022
Eu Research Framework Programme: H2020 / ERC
The postdoctoral researcher will work as part of the NanoBubbles project team
at LISIS, together with Dr. Marianne Noel and Dr. Frédérique Bordignon. The
tasks will include empirical research and data analysis, presentation of
results at NanoBubbles internal meetings and workshops, in international
academic conferences and
academic journals, and the organization of research-related academic events.
Travels paid by the project are planned. Beyond the project, she/he will
actively participate in the life of the laboratory, which regularly host
international academic events. She/he will benefit from the IFRIS network and
the lively academic context in
the Paris region.
The Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire Sciences Innovations Sociétés (LISIS, UMR
CNRS 9003) is seeking to appoint a postdoctoral researcher to join a five-
year European Research Council-funded project "NanoBubbles: how, when and why
does science fail to correct itself?”.
The NanoBubbles ERC Synergy project's objective is to understand how, when and
why science fails to correct itself. The project's focus is claims made within
the field of nanobiology. Project members combine approaches from the natural
sciences, computer sciences, and the social sciences and humanities (Science
and Technology
Studies) to understand how error correction in science works and what
obstacles it faces. For this purpose, we aim to trace claims and corrections
through various channels of scientific communication (journals, social media,
platforms dedicated to error correction, conference programs, etc.) via both
qualitative and digital methods.
The postdoctoral researcher recruited will carry out research on error
correction/propagation practices. She/he will build up a corpus of nanobiology
journals, starting by identifying the journals that fall within the field,
even before the term nano was coined. The history of the field, the rhythm of
creation and disappearance of journals as well as the actors evolving in the
publishing ecosystem will be reconstituted in order to shed light on the
central problem of the NanoBubbles project (the study of the mechanisms of
correction of science). The hypothesis that the commercial character of
journals constitutes is an hindrance that should be further investigated, in
particular by analyzing the finances of the learned societies involved in
nanobiology journals.
The position is located in Noisy-Champs (RER line A) in the LISIS offices on
the Université Gustave Eiffel campus.
Eligibility criteria
Applicants should hold a PhD in STS or related fields (history, sociology,
political sciences, communication sciences, etc.). A successful candidate
will be familiar with STS concepts and theories; experienced in quantitative
research methods and/or digital humanities ; interested in working in an
interdisciplinary and collaborative research environment and in engaging with
other knowledge cultures; able to work independently and as part of a team.
English language skills at a high level of quality are essential for the
position in general. French language skills are a plus, too.
Additional comments
Beginning date of the contract is September 1, 2022, but arrangements are
possible. Depending on the starting date, the contract can be renewed for an
additional 12, 18 or 24 months.
Applications must be submitted online via the CNRS platform:
https: // emploi.cnrs.fr/ Applications must include:
- a CV including a description of previous research experience and the names
and
contact details of at least two referees,
- a letter of interest (1 page maximum): briefly indicate why you are
interested in joining the project, briefly describe your research
achievements, your areas of expertise and your technical skills,
- a scientific article, published or not, or a chapter of your thesis, that
best represents the quality of your work (it does not have to be directly
related to this project).
Shortlisted applicants will be invited to online interviews conducted by the
NanoBubbles committee shortly after the call closes, and final decisions will
be made promptly before the end of June 2022.
