Postdoc in NLP for Computational Social Science

The Pioneer Centre for AI and Department of Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen invites application for a 2-year postdoctoral full-time research position in the domain of Natural Language Processing. NLP is becoming an increasingly powerful tool for social scientists. Yet, the intersection between the two disciplines is still poorly explored, with research in the two disciplines often being conducted as separate streams. The goal of this project is to research methods which can more directly be useful for downstream social science applications. One such application is to analyse common narratives in news, which requires methods including (interpretable) topic modelling, framing detection, social media analysis, etc. The successful candidate will be affiliated with a larger initiative on narrative analysis, spanning different content modalities, with the autonomy to define their project in this larger context. Inquiries about the position can be made to Professor Isabelle Augenstein (augenstein@di.ku.dk).
