Pending availability of funding, the Analytical Crisis and Reputation Management group at Northwestern University is seeking to fill a postdoctoral research position for the project "Language and Political Behavior." This project brings together researchers from the Departments of Linguistics and Managerial Economics and Decision Sciences as part of the Northwestern Institute in Complex Systems (NICO). Its goal is to analyze written and spoken text in business and politics in order to detect and trace issues and opinions, tonality of documents, and to explore the relationship between linguistic output and voting patterns, interest group positioning and survey data. The project also explores applications to political and reputational risk management.
Candidates should hold a doctoral degree in Linguistics, Computer Science, or a related area. Requirements include:
(i) a solid theoretical background and practical experience in quantitative methods in computational linguistics and/or information retrieval;
(ii) excellent programming skills; and
(iii) a strong motivation and proven ability to work and publish collaboratively.
The position is available immediately. The initial appointment will be for 12 months, with the possibility of extension by another 12 months, subject to performance and availability of funding. Financial compensation will be competitive and commensurate with the candidate's qualification.
