The position is for 3 or four years, flexible start and location, and with a high salary. Thank you so much in advance! *** Competition for a Postdoc for the ERC research project (Computer Science, Computational Social Science / deadline: 15 Sept 2025) https://cess.idub.uw.edu.pl/en/2025/07/competition-for-a-postdoc-for-the-erc... Are you an expert in computational social science or computer science? Do you specialize in ML or LLMs, software development, and innovative online experiments? Are you interested in social media, their recommendation algorithms, polarization, and misinformation? We invite applications for the position of a post-doctoral researcher at the Centre of Excellence in Social Sciences, University of Warsaw for the ERC NEWSUSE project (PI Magdalena Wojcieszak). The project explores how to incentivize exposure to quality and verified political news and information online to minimize polarization, misinformation, extremism, etc. The project includes experiments on mock platforms, social media field experiments, and computer and data science methods. The project may also entail algorithmic audits of social media platforms using automated sock puppets and prompt engineering. You will shape the specific questions and designs, and to envision and implement innovative technological solutions to increase the external validity of these designs. --
