Dear all, hi again A quick note that a week remains to submit your application for the ERC post-doctoral position at the U of Warsaw. See below and please reach out if you have any questions. Have a great day! Magdalena **** Dear all I hope you are having a great week. I am looking for a post-doc for my ERC Consolidator. Please see below, consider applying, and forward this call below to your contacts, students, listserves, social media, etc.. 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.
Good Vibes Only? How Affects and Emotions Are Mediated for Justice in Digital Culture April 9-10, 2026 Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania Contemporary digital cultures are affective cultures. Memes, viral videos, and stories on social media both generate and thrive on affects and emotions. Their endless production, circulation, repetition and reproduction both sustain and depend on global cultures and economies of affects and attention. They shape both the experiences of ordinary people and the fates and fortunes of large and small social groups and nation-states. Affects and emotions take numerous mediated forms on social media. They can be textual or multi-modal. They are the lifeblood of livestreaming videos, hashtags, emojis, music, photographs, personal memories and stories. Fake news transmits and feeds on affects and emotions. How are digital affects and emotions related to social movements, everyday activism and social justice work? What mediated forms do they take and how to study these mediated forms and practices? How might affect and emotion help us understand discourses related to digital tribalism, misinformation and disinformation in online spaces, and as an organizing force in the face of fascism & militarism? How might they be weaponized and with what consequences? Without drawing a strict line between affect and emotion, we welcome submissions which focus on either or both. We also welcome studies of specific kinds of digitally mediated affective/emotional practices, from depression and anxiety to anger and joy, and more. We particularly encourage empirical studies of affects and emotions in relation to digital activism and social justice struggles. Submissions from both early career and established researchers are welcome. Topics include but are not limited to the following: Emotions and digital storytelling; affective economies of social media; affects of digital objects in activism; digital archival practice and affects; playful emotions online; affective publics and digital networks; rage-baiting and sensationalism; authoritarianism and mis/disinformation campaigns; digital tribalism and echo-chambers; memes, gifs, and mediated humor and satire; mediated joy as resistance; affective refusal; algorithmic resistance and creativity; digital love; feelings of obsolescence; feelings of victimization; digital diasporas and affective cultures; AI chatbots and artificial empathy; emotions and AI generated art and narratives. Please submit your 800-word abstract to cdcs@asc.upenn.edu<mailto:cdcs@asc.upenn.edu?subject=&body=> before December 1, 2025. Notification of acceptance will be sent by December 20, 2025. Complete papers are due three weeks before the symposium. The symposium will take place at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania on April 9-10, 2026. Conference organizers will cover hotel and provide partial funding for travel for invited paper presenters (pending budget availability). Final papers presented at the conference will be edited for a special journal issue. This symposium is organized by the Center on Digital Culture and Society<https://www.asc.upenn.edu/research/centers/center-on-digital-culture-and-society> at University of Pennsylvania.
