***Post‐Doctoral Position*


*Social network analysis for crisis management***



Title: Post-doc position on social network analysis for crisis management.
Location: L3i laboratory, La Rochelle, France
Duration: open until September 2018
Net salary: 2000-2100 € monthly

Keywords: social network analysis, statistical NLP, (text) data mining

***

Applications are invited for one postdoctoral position on the live 
detection of events over microblogs through a dual approach mixing 
natural language processing and social network analysis. Depending on 
its background, the fellow will work using one or the other approach 
with implied issues such as : knowledge extraction for situation 
awareness, measures for the quality and reliablity of information, and 
multimodal analysis. Since we also plan to integrate data stemming from 
the structure of the network: implicit and explicit author profile, 
mecanism by which the information is spread, etc. any background in SNA 
will also be a plus..

The work will be conducted in the informatics, image and interaction 
laboratory (L3i), within the Tourinflux project, funded by a public 
investment program for the future (PIA). The L3i is a 120-person 
laboratory created in 1993, hosted in the historical and sunny city of 
La Rochelle.

What we search for:

- a PhD in Computer Science
- past experience in statistical NLP or SNA (or both) with an interest 
in the other domain
- fluency in written and spoken English.


Applications including a CV, a one-page research statement discussing 
how the candidate's background fits requirements and topic are to be 
sent to jean-loup.guillaume at univ-lr.fr and antoine.doucet at univ-lr.fr.
Applications will be reviewed until the position is filled (expected 
start: September 2017).
