[Commlist] Doctoral position in artificial intelligence and political language at University of Gothenburg

Doctoral position in artificial intelligence and political language with 
the GRIPES project

We are looking for you who have a background in for example journalism 
or media and communication and who are interested in opinion formation, 
artificial intelligence, and so-called ”dogwhistles”. The phenomenon 
”dogwhistles” is very much debated and known from individual scandals 
such as the Cambridge Analytica affair. Dogwhistles are political words 
and phrases that are used by actors in opinion formation, intended to be 
understood in a particular way by some groups in the population, but not 
others.

You are welcome to apply for a doctoral position in the  GRIPES project 
(Gothenburg Research Initiative for Politically Emergent Systems). 
GRIPES is a new interdisciplinary project whose purpose is to 
investigate the role of autonomous systems and artificial intelligence 
(AI) in the use of dogwhistles.
