Title: Post-doc position on social network analysis for crisis
management.<br>
Location: L3i laboratory, La Rochelle, France<br>
Duration: open until September 2018<br>
Net salary: 2000-2100 € monthly<br>
<br>
Keywords: social network analysis, statistical NLP, (text) data
mining<br>
<br>
***<br>
<br>
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..<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
What we search for:<br>
<br>
- a PhD in Computer Science<br>
- past experience in statistical NLP or SNA (or both) with an
interest in the other domain<br>
- fluency in written and spoken English.<br>
<br>
<br>
Applications including a CV, a one-page research statement
discussing how the candidate's background fits requirements and
topic are to be sent to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:jean-loup.guillaume@univ-lr.fr">jean-loup.guillaume@univ-lr.fr</a> and
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:antoine.doucet@univ-lr.fr">antoine.doucet@univ-lr.fr</a>.<br>
Applications will be reviewed until the position is filled (expected
start: September 2017).<br>
