Phd Position Computational Approaches to Narrative
4 weken geleden
The PhD Project
Under the supervision of Dr Khalid Al Khatib, Dr Federico Pianzola, and Prof. Malvina Nissim, you will work on an interdisciplinary project that involves developing computational methods for language analysis as well as conceptual models based on narrative and argumentation theories.
You will be asked to
- complete a dissertation on the computational linguistic modeling of narrative and argumentative texts. The dissertation will take the form of a coherent document which will be based on a series of (co-authored) journal and conference articles, in English
- collect data from various online sources (e.g. news, editorials, political speeches, social media, etc.) and create a corpus complying with rigorous research standards
- co-organize research meetings within the Center for Language and Cognition
- contribute to the project’s public outreach and social media activities
- participate in the teaching as part of the regular curriculum of Digital Humanities and Information Science.
Orgganisation
Since its foundation in 1614, the University of Groningen has established an international reputation as a dynamic and innovative university offering high-quality teaching and research. Its 34,000 students are encouraged to develop their own individual talents through challenging study
- and career paths. The University of Groningen is an international center of knowledge: It belongs to the best research universities in Europe and is allied with prestigious partner universities and networks worldwide.
The Faculty of Arts - which includes the Center for Language and Cognition (CLCG) - is located in the historic heart of the city of Groningen. You will be enrolled in the Graduate School for the Humanities, affiliated with the CLCG. CLCG engages in multidisciplinary linguistic, neuropsychological, and computational research on language and communication. You will work more closely with the Computational Linguistics group (GroNLP), consisting of approximately 45 members (staff and PhD students.) You will also have the opportunity to join one of the National Research Schools, which offer training and funding opportunities for PhD students in the Netherlands.

- applicants should hold a master's degree or be in the process of completing it (before September 2024)
- proficiency in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and familiarity with Machine Learning (ML) in Python
- good academic writing skills in English
- the willingness to move and reside in the Netherlands.
- knowledge about narrative and argumentation theories
- experience in analyzing narrative and argumentative texts.
