Call for 2010-11 Mellon Sawyer Fellowship - Rupture and Flow: The Circulation of Technoscientific Facts and Objects</b>
</font></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"></font> </p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">Receipt deadline: March 1, 2010 </font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"></font> </p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">The Sawyer Seminar and the Institute of Advanced Study at Indiana University will award one Andrew W. Mellon Sawyer Postdoctoral Fellowships for a one-year appointment beginning July 1, 2010. The Fellow will receive a stipend
of $40,000 per year, as well as health insurance and an allowance for relocation. This Sawyer Seminar is based in science and technology studies and focuses specifically on how facts and technologies circulate among diverse communities of producers and consumers,
acquiring or losing credibility and utility as they move. We will explore questions including: How has the treatment of failure and errors changed the practice of science across disciplines and over time? How and why do cultural, social and material forces
interrupt or thwart the circulation of technoscientific knowledge and objects, and with what consequences for what kinds of communities? How do social, cultural, political, and legal barriers influence technological change historically and geographically?
How is the increasing use of lay-produced science shifting what is acknowledged and implemented in scientific practice and policy? Applicants for this postdoctoral fellowship must have research projects that speak to the concerns raised by the circulation
of technoscientific knowledge and objects, and the possibilities and consequences of interrupting, reorienting, or preventing this circulation. Besides pursuing his or her own research, the fellowship recipient will play an active role in the intellectual
life of the Sawyer Seminar by helping to organize an ongoing seminar series and four workshops. There will be no teaching responsibilities.
