The Department of Information Technology at Uppsala University has opened a postdoctoral position in social data science for the analysis of online disinformation. Application deadline: May 28, 2021 Link to the call: https://uu.se/en/about-uu/join-us/details/?positionId=398570 Profile: We seek a candidate who will define and lead an innovative research project in social data science for the analysis of online disinformation. The scope of the postdoctoral project is open, and scholars from any discipline who have experience developing new methods or doing computational analysis are welcome to apply. The successful candidate will join the Uppsala University Information Laboratory (http://infolab.it.uu.se), a growing interdisciplinary research group doing basic and applied research on the extraction of knowledge from data at the intersection of data mining, social network analysis and computational social science. The InfoLab is part of a nordic network on the study of online disinformation (https://nordis.research.it.uu.se), and is leading the establishment of a cross-faculty research environment on AI and political communication at Uppsala University. We also plan to open one related position later this year as part of a recently funded EU project. The current opening is part of a joint call for 5 postdoctoral researchers at the Department of Information Technology on sustainability and cybersecurity. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with the other selected scholars. Postdoctoral positions are career-development appointments focused on research, and can include a limited amount of teaching, up to 20%. We strongly recommend those who are interested in applying to contact us in advance.
