[Commlist] Fully Funded PhD Position in European Studies, Lund University

----

The Centre for European Studies at Lund University is hiring a 4-year 
PhD Position  within the Horizon Europe project DEEP DIALOGUE.

*About the Project*

The doctoral student will be part of the project “DEEP DIALOGUE: 
De-escalating Extremism and Polarisation through Dialogue,” funded by 
the Horizon Europe funding scheme of the European Union. The project 
aims to examine when, how, and why polarization turns into 
radicalization among European youth, map feedback loops between 
polarization and radicalization, and test which dialogue-based 
interventions can promote democratic participation, trust, and social 
cohesion. The project is a collaboration of 14 partners from eight 
countries and is coordinated by Lund University.

The doctoral project will focus on the analysis of social media data 
around political events. These include national elections in France, 
Italy, Hungary, and Romania, as well as armed conflicts (e.g., 
Ukraine-Russia and Israel-Hamas). The Horizon project collects data from 
these cases across four platforms (X/Twitter, Facebook, Telegram, and 
TikTok), which the doctoral project will analyze to classify narratives 
and to assist with designing early-warning dashboards for detecting 
disinformation and hostile narratives.

The doctoral project will be integrated into and work alongside the 
broader Horizon consortium, which uses large-scale surveys, focus 
groups, netnography, and experiments to achieve its aims.

*Qualifications*

For this specific doctoral position, the following is required:

* Experience relevant to the project’s focus on digital media and 
European political communication, for example through a Master’s degree 
in European Studies, Digital Humanities, Media and Communication,

* Demonstrated experience in applying computational social science 
methods, particularly to digital media data.

and intentions are relevant for the project DEEP DIALOGUE.
