Postdoctoral Fellowship in Animal Studies (EXPIRED)

Research Area: Animal ethics, law and politics. While we interpret animal ethics, law and politics broadly, and welcome applications from various disciplines that study human-animal relations including political science, law, philosophy, sociology and environmental studies, we are looking in particular for research that critically examines the moral, legal and political dimensions of how human-animal relations are governed.
