Postdoc job: Innovation & Rentiership

                APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING
<br>
<br>	Dear all,
<br>
<br>	I’m looking to recruit a Postdoctoral Visitor/Fellow to work on a
<br>SSHRC-funded research project titled “From Entrepreneurship to
<br>Rentiership: The Changing Dynamics of Innovation in Technoscientific
<br>Capitalism”. The project examines the different forms of rentiership
<br>prevalent in contemporary, technoscientific capitalism. It is motivated by
<br>the increasing unease expressed across the political spectrum with the
<br>problematic effects emerging from technology monopolies, weak antitrust
<br>regulations, market capture, platform technologies, intellectual property
<br>rights, etc.
<br>
<br>	These two open access articles provide the context for the research:
<br>	* Birch, K. (2019) Technoscience rent: Towards a theory of rentiership for
<br>technoscientific capitalism
<br>(https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0162243919829567), Science,
<br>Technology and Human Values.
<br>	* Birch, K. (2017) Rethinking value in the bio-economy: Finance,
<br>assetization and the management of value
<br>(http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0162243916661633), Science,
<br>Technology and Human Values 42(3): 460-490.
<br>	Terms & Conditions: the position is for 1-year, with the possibility of
<br>renewal for another 6 months; and salary will start at CS41,000 (plus
<br>benefits) depending on experience.
<br>
<br>	If you’re interested in applying then please send me a 2-page maximum
<br>cover letter (outlining how your experience matches the job description),
<br>an up to date CV, and the names and email addresses of two referees.
<br>Deadline: 31 October 2019. Email address: kean@yorku.ca
<br>(mailto:kean@yorku.ca)
<br>
<br>	Here’s the job description:
