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.
