[Commlist] PhD position in digital sociology

PHD POSITION IN DIGITAL SOCIOLOGY


DIGSUM's Digital Sociology group is looking for a new PhD candidate. The 
position is fully funded and salaried for four years. The work is to be 
carried out with us at Umeå University, Sweden.


This PhD position is part of the larger research project Programmable 
Politics, which is about how the social transformation towards increased 
automation, through datafication and algorithms, affects how civil 
society works and acts. The research to be carried out by the PhD shall 
be about how civil society actors (e.g., social movements, NGOs, trade 
unions, activists) relate to automation in relation to their political 
objectives. The broader project, as a whole, uses different types of 
data and methods, but the work of the PhD candidate will particularly, 
even if not exclusively, include interview- and document analysis 
relating to the strategies and actions of civil society agents both 
online and offline.
