Hello AoIR community, I trust this message finds you all in good health and high spirits. I wanted to take a moment to share an exciting opportunity that has emerged at the University of Urbino in Italy. We're currently looking for a dedicated postdoctoral researcher to become part of our Vera.ai project. This is a three-year research initiative generously funded by the European Union's Horizon Research and Innovation Actions. Our mission is to create reliable AI solutions to tackle advanced disinformation techniques. To this end, we focus our research on detecting coordinated information operations, analyzing the disinformation narratives and campaigns they generate, and assessing the impact they have. The research responsibilities for this position involve two intertwined aspects. Initially, we are pouring our energies into the detection of coordinated sharing behaviors and the modeling of disinformation campaigns. This in-depth analysis is crucial to comprehend the structure and dissemination strategies of disinformation. Concurrently, we're concentrating on evaluating the impact of disinformation campaigns and scrutinizing the role of online platform algorithms that may be encouraging their spread. Our ultimate goal is to formulate a complete picture of the disinformation landscape, from inception and distribution to impact and countermeasures. While having experience in inferential statistics, network science, topic modeling, and cluster analysis would certainly be advantageous, we're primarily interested in your alignment with the project's objectives. Familiarity with the CooRnet R package would also be valuable, although it's not a strict requirement. More information about the project, its objectives, and deliverables can be found on our website: https://www.veraai.eu/. This full-time, two-year position is based at the University of Urbino. The gross annual salary for this role is €19,300, inclusive of social security contributions and tax-exempt. Consequently, the net salary for this position is expected to be around €16,800 per year. For those outside the EU, please note that a valid work visa is a prerequisite for this position. While we are ready and willing to provide assistance, the ultimate responsibility for securing the necessary documentation lies with you. To apply, if you haven't already, create an account on the national website used in Italy for academic positions. Here is the direct link to the application: https://pica.cineca.it/en/uniurb/22ass08/ (click the 'Manage Your Application' button).
