[Air-L] Postdoc in digital politics (quant) at UNC-Chapel Hill

[Deen Freelon]

Hi all,

The Center for Information, Technology, & Public Life (CITAP) at the 
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is hiring a new postdoc who 
will work directly with my research group, the Political and Civic App 
Division (PCAD): https://unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/240132

I'm looking for someone with strong quant skills, especially in the 
areas of survey research and/or computational social science, who can 
help PCAD build new research tools and analyze the data they generate. 
Here's some of what we're working on:

  * Our first tool, PIEGraph, tracks a opt-in panel of American users
    and analyzes the ideological and factual aspects of their Twitter
    feeds. Sign in and view your personalized ideology/fact quality
    chart here: https://pcad.ils.unc.edu/
  * We also recently released a new TikTok scraper and are looking to
    extend and apply it to a range of research areas:

Please spread the word and LMK if you have questions! If you're looking 
to build a rep in the digital politics space with a strong 
identity/power analysis game, I'd strongly encourage you to apply.

Best, //DEEN
