Maureen O'Malley

I hold a Future Fellowship at the University of Sydney in the Department of Philosophy. I'm also associated with the Sydney Centre for the Foundations of Science. I'm working on philosophical issues in contemporary molecular life sciences. Before coming to Sydney in February 2011, I was a Senior Research Fellow at Egenis, the University of Exeter. Prior to that, I spent a few years in Ford Doolittle's evolutionary microbiology lab at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I did my PhD on evolutionary explanations in the social sciences and humanities at the Universities of Edinburgh and Sussex.
