Description:
Vermont EPSCoR's Science of Online Corpora, Knowledge, and Stories (SOCKS) research team is currently recruiting three prospective Postdoctoral Associates 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.

POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE POSITIONS. The following three Postdoctoral Associate positions are available:

-Instrument Building - Instruments for Computational Humanities and Social Science

-Social Team - Detecting signals of belief and belief propagation in large-scale corpora

-Health Team - Conversational storytelling in serious illness

Review of applications will begin in January, and continue until positions are filled. More information about the SOCKS project can be found on our website.

For questions about the positions or any technical issues with the application process, please contact us at socks@uvm.edu.
