[Air-L] Doctoral Researcher in computational research of platformed organizing

[Jukka Huhtamäki (TAU)]

Are you interested in investigating digital platforms in societies and modern organizations? We are now looking for a Doctoral Researcher in computational research of platformed organizing.

Generative Technologies in Communicative Organizing (GET:ORG) is a Research Council of Finland-funded project that develops computational methodology to investigate this social phenomenon. In GET:ORG, we theorize and empirically analyze the agency of novel interactive and generative technologies, such as automated conversations, categorizations, feeds, and AI assistants, in both producing and constraining organizing.

The candidate’s work will be focused on conducting doctoral research toward the completion of a doctoral dissertation within the GET:ORG project. It will mainly consist of research activities including research design, methodology development, data analysis, theory building, article writing, and sharing the created knowledge through conferences and journal publications. Moreover, the candidate is encouraged to join the emerging research community at the intersection of organization/organizational communication research and computational methodology. Opportunities to gain experience in academic teaching are also available.

While your institutional home base will be at the Unit of Knowledge and Information Management at Tampere University, your day-to-day team includes members from the University of Helsinki and the University of Jyväskylä. Salla-Maaria Laaksonen leads the project in collaboration with Kaisa Lindholm and Jukka Huhtamäki. Jukka and Kaisa will serve as your dissertation supervisors.

The closing date for applications is September 18, 2024 (at 23.59 EEST / UTC +3).
