contribute to the activities and development of the discipline and the 
department. You are given the opportunity to deepen your interests in 
collaboration with others. To contribute to a positive work environment

The doctoral studentship is tied to NODE’s research programme Beyond 
Fact-Checking: "Detecting Frames and Disinformation in News and Social 
Media Content with Computational Methods" funded by the Anne-Marie and
