Academic Level: Graduate Students (PhD)
Description: Vermont EPSCoR's Science of Online Corpora, Knowledge, and Stories (SOCKS) research team is currently recruiting six prospective Ph.D. students for Graduate Research Assistantships based at the University of Vermont (UVM) to begin this Fall.
SOCKS is a large, multi-disciplinary effort funded by the National Science Foundation, that revolves around stories as an essential part of how people comprehend, explain, predict, and seek to navigate the world. SOCKS supports the Digital Humanities by developing a powerful approach to quantifying both individual stories and ecologies of stories through massive data collection, natural language processing, and large language models-computer-based encodings of the meaningful connections between words and phrases.
GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANT POSITION. The following six Graduate Research Assistant positions are available
-Social Team - Computational Humanities and Social Science
-Social Team - Computational Social Science, Data Ethics
-Health Team - Conversational storytelling in serious illness
-Health Team - Using narratives as a digital phenotype to forecast mental health recovery from trauma
-Social Team - Conspiracy theories and real-world harms
-Social Team - Social media sentiment and forced migration narratives
Review of applications will begin in January, and continue until positions are filled.
Please visit our website for more information about the SOCKS project and to apply. For questions about the positions or any technical issues with the application process, please contact us at socks@uvm.edu.
