Description:
Applications are invited for the following: Two 4-year, part-time 75 %
doctoral research positions as part of the project "In-equality

project is part of the Cluster of Excellence "The Politics of
Inequality" (https://www.exc.uni-konstanz.de/en/inequality/).
The positions are available as of January 1, 2026 and involve the
automatic identification, analysis and automatic extraction of
linguistic cues for NLP applications that detect topics and framing
with respect to political discourse about inequality.  We will be
looking at a number of different situations (climate change and
economic investment policies) across a number of different languages
and are searching in particular for competence in the following
languages: English, German, Swedish, Spanish, Urdu/Hindi, Tamil or any
other South Asian language.
The researchers will work closely with researchers from both
Computational Social Science and Computational Linguistics in an
international and interdisciplinary environment, including political
science and economics.
Applicants should have an MA degree (or equivalent) in computational
linguistics or linguistics.
The applicants should be well versed in linguistic analysis
(competence in morphosyntactic and pragmatics is a plus) and have
programming skills. Knowledge of Python is particularly relevant.
