We are excited to announce the launch of the first call for applications for ALLIES. This call aims to recruit 9 postdoctoral researchers committed to advancing AI for sustainable development. As a participating centre, we are proud to offer a unique research opportunity as part of this initiative.

SOCIAL LISTENING

Social and political disruption is everywhere. Several countries are experiencing extreme levels of political polarization and economic inequality. Research in the Social Sciences is a key input to developing more robust societies in this context. We’re seeing a rapid increase in research opportunities due to the availability of diverse data sources like texts and images. Advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have greatly enhanced our ability to analyze these varied data sources. However, there’s a gap in how these advanced methods are applied in social sciences compared to computer science. Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a rapidly evolving field, yet its integration into social science research is still limited. The PostDoc’s proposal should focus on NLP methods and how to integrate them into social science research! More information about this line here.

  • Supervisor: Jesús Cerquides (IIIA)
  • Supervisor: Hannes Muller (IAE)

Position Details:

  • Duration: Two years
  • Location: The candidate will spend one year at our centre, collaborating closely with our research team, and the second year at IAE in Barcelona, another prestigious research institution within the ALLIES network.
  • We’re looking for: Researchers that propose to work on the intersection of computer science and quantitative social science, bring together cutting edge methods in NLP and integrate this into quantitative work on social and political disruptions.
  • Gross Salary: 41,213.44 € per year (approx.)
