The Social Dynamics Initiative of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania is seeking applicants for a computational social science postdoctoral fellowship position. Applicants should have the skills to apply recent advances in natural language processing and textual analysis to problems in behavioral science. Examples include what makes online content viral, why some risk messages are more effective, why some products and ideas catch on, and what drives cultural evolution. The goal of the postdoc is to help further the bridge the gap between behavioral scientists studying the drivers (and consequences) of human behavior and computer scientists who have the toolkit to parse these large quantities of data.
Applicants will work with Professors Jonah Berger https://marketing.wharton.upenn.edu/profile/311/ and Robert Meyer https://marketing.wharton.upenn.edu/profile/205/, as well as other faculty on a variety of on-going projects in these areas, as well as be expected to undertake original research projects.
Applicants are welcome from a variety of fields, including computer science, information science, psychology, economics, and others. Priority will be given to applicants with an active interest in applying theories and methods of large-scale data analysis, including machine learning and natural language processing, to understanding human behavior.
_Starting date_: Summer or Fall 2017
_Length_: 1 year (with possibility of renewal)
*_How to apply_*: Please email your C.V., 1 or 2 representative publications or working papers and a letter of recommendation to mktg-recruitment@wharton.upenn.edu mailto:mktg-recruitment@wharton.upenn.edu. Applicants must have a Ph.D. (expected completion by June 30, 2017 is acceptable) from an accredited institution. Incomplete applications will not be considered. *_Applications will be considered on a rolling basis_*/ /so please apply soon if interested.
