candidate. The position is fully funded and salaried for four years. The 
work is to be carried out with us at Umeå University, Sweden.


The  work of the candidate will be in the area of public opinion 
dynamics,  broadly defined. This includes the study of disinformation 
and misinformation, and also related phenomena such as conspiracy 
theories, propaganda, hate speech, and so on. A particular focus for the 
research is how these forms may occur under societal threats. Processes 
and phenomena of interest include polarization (of opinion), issue 
alignment, and other communicative practices on social media in relation 
to politics and democracy. The position is connected to the WASP-HS 
graduate school, which means that an emphasis on the role of algorithms, 
automation, and datafication is implied.
