Post-doctoral Fellowship, Queen's University

The Surveillance Project, based in the Sociology Department at Queen's University, seek a post-doctoral fellow to join the team researching Surveillance, Risk, and Social Ordering in a Global Information Society, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada under the Knowledge-Based Economy Strategic Grant theme.

The successful candidate will develop, construct, and contribute to projects in conjunction with team members. These currently include the role of surveillance technology, including biometrics, in capturing the movement of people across borders; electronic commerce, virtual worlds, Internet solicitation and information privacy; the development of smart cards in federal and provincial government departments.

Some knowledge of surveillance and privacy issues is an asset, and applicants should have social science training, preferably a PhD in Sociology. There is a possibility that some teaching opportunities may be available during the tenure of the post-doc.

The position will start in mid-September 2001 with possible renewal for a second year in September 2002. The amount is $26,000 in the first year. For more information see http://qsilver.queensu.ca/sociology/Surveillance/intro.htm
