Big Data Postdoctoral Fellow Position at Edith Cowan University in Western Australia

The emergence of new media forms has led to a profound transformation of the Australian media environment: mainstream, niche, and social media intersect in many ways, online and offline. Increased access to large-scale data on public communication online enables an observation of how the nation responds to the news of the day, how themes and topics unfold, and how interest publics develop and decline over time.

Edith Cowan University has joined a consortium of Australian Universities in an infrastructure project that takes advantage of the emergence of new social media forms drawing on several ‘big data’ sources on Australian public communication. This increased access to large-scale social media data will help with observation and analysis of how Australians react to events and create themes and topics of interest.

The Post Doc appointment will support the candidate’s ability to investigate intermedia information flows in Australian on any number of humanities’ topics. While the candidate will be encouraged to work on their own research project/s, they will also be expected to collaborate with other ECU researchers to ensure other researchers’ access to big data. A DATD will also be available to facilitate this process. This is also an exceptional mentoring opportunity and allies the postdoc recipient with a highly productive team of researchers.
