Greetings to them Eurograd email list,
I am writing about the following three research positions, which have
just been advertised, and may be of interest to you and/or your network.
They are all in the humanities and/or social sciences, about risk and
ethics in the use of synthetic biology to address the climate and
ecological crisis. All are ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology
positions, based at the Institute for Culture and Society at Western
Sydney University, and all are open to international applicants.
(For those who may like to publicise via Twitter, this tweet I made has
all the info/links and could be re-tweeted:
