POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS AT HARVARD UNIVERSITY
Science, Technology and Development
Overview
The Science Technology and Innovation (STI) Program
http://www.cid.harvard.edu/cidtech/index.html offers post-doctoral
fellowships in Science, Technology and Development under the auspices of
the Biotechnology and Globalization project
<http://www.cid.harvard.edu/cidbiotech/index.html> supported by the
Rockefeller Foundation <http://www.rockfound.org/index.html>. The aim of
the project is to provide research-based information to policy-makers and
the general public on the role of biotechnology in the global economy with
emphasis on its implications for developing countries. The project covers
issues such as evolution of the biotechnology industry; biotechnology in
international trade; intellectual property rights in biotechnology;
biotechnology and international relations; bioprospecting; biotechnology in
developing countries; environmental aspects of biotechnology; biotechnology
and human health; and ethics, social values and biotechnology.
STI Program
The STI Program addresses the roles of science, technology and innovation
and, more specifically, examines recent trends in globalization and their
implications for the use of science and technology in the developing world.
Additionally, the program focuses on finding ways to mobilize the world's
pool of scientific and technological knowledge to contribute to economic
growth in the developing world. Emphasis is placed on science and
technology policy issues related to biotechnology and globalization,
pharmaceutical research and the conservation of biological diversity. The
STI Program is implemented through research, training and outreach. It is a
joint activity of the Center for International Development
(CID)<http://www.cid.harvard.edu/> at Harvard University and the Science,
Technology and Public Policy (STPP) Program at the Belfer Center for
Science and International Affairs
