Functieomschrijving

You will be working within the project 'Digital Crossings in Europe: Gender, Diaspora and Belonging' (CONNECTINGEUROPE). This project is funded by the European Research Council (ERC), by way of a Consolidator Grant awarded to the principal investigator (PI) Prof. dr. Sandra Ponzanesi (Professor of Gender and Postcolonial Studies, Utrecht University, the Netherlands).

The project aims to investigate the relation between migration and digital technologies, in particular the way in which the ‘connected migrant’ contributes to new forms of European integration and cosmopolitan citizenship. The project explores digital diasporas in relation to issues of gender, ethnicity and affective belonging, focusing on how new technologies enhance new forms of connectivity between the homeland and destination countries, bus also across diasporas. The project pioneers a new interdisciplinary method that combines media studies, postcolonial theories, digital humanities and gender studies, drawing from the humanities and social science. It proposes a comparative approach, based on qualitative digital methods, that focuses on Somali, Romanian and Turkish women migrants who have settled in some of Europe’s main cities (London – PhD1, Amsterdam – PhD2 and Rome – PhD3) and the way in which they keep digitally and emotionally connected to their homeland cities (Mogadishu, Bucharest, Istanbul – Postdoc). The project will chart how different forms of migration (labour, postcolonial and post socialist) impact on the new European order at the local and transnational levels.

Within the project, three PhD positions and a postdoc position (advertised separately) will be available for the following projects:

1. PhD1 - Digital Diasporas: London.

2. PhD2 - Digital Diasporas: Amsterdam.

3. PhD3 - Digital Diasporas: Rome.

4. Postdoc: The Politics of Home

The three PhDs will have to conduct fieldwork across the three migrant groups (Turkish, Somali, Romanian) in the proposed city (London, Amsterdam or Rome). The interaction, collaboration and sharing of data with the other PhDs and the postdoc is expected. The PhD and Postdoc candidates will of course have the opportunity to fill in the details of these projects or expand on them, based on their expertise, the data they gather and their own research ideas, all in consultation with the principal investigator.

Tasks for the three PhD candidates will include:

    completion and defence of a PhD thesis within four years;
    carrying out fieldwork in the city that is the focus of your preference (London, Rome or Amsterdam);
    regular presentation of intermediate research at workshops and conferences;
    publication of two peer-reviewed articles in established international journals;
    co-organization of summer school, exhibition and final conference;
    participation in all training programmes and expert meetings scheduled for the project.

Functie-eisen

    a (research) Master’s degree in gender, new media, cultural studies, anthropology, geography, history, international relations or a relevant humanities and social science background qualification at an equivalent level with a clear interest in migration, digital methods, gender studies, postcolonial theories and ethnography;
    an outstanding record for work in the undergraduate and Master's degrees;
    excellent research skills;
    excellent academic writing and presentation skills;
    proficiency in English, both written and spoken. A knowledge of one or more of the languages of the project is an advantage: Dutch, Somali, Romanian, Turkish and Italian.
    some experience in ethnographic research;
    knowledge of or willingness to learn digital methods;
    ability to meet deadlines and work as an independent researcher and as part of a team;
    ability and willingness to collaborate across the academic disciplines of media, migration, visual analysis, gender and postcolonial studies;
    ability to work in an international, interdisciplinary team;
    excellent organizational, social and communication skills.

Conditions

Three PhD positions can be offered for 1,0 FTE each, starting 1 January 2016 or soon after. Initially for a period of 18 months. Upon good performance and a positive evaluation, the contract will be extended for another 30 months (4 years in total). The gross monthly salary starts at € 2,125.- in the first year, ending at € 2,717.- in the fourth year on a fulltime basis.

Utrecht University offers a pension scheme, a holiday allowance of 8% per year, an end-of-year bonus of 8.3% and flexible employment conditions. Conditions are based on the Collective Employment Agreement of the Dutch Universities. More information: terms of employment.

Jobs in Holland: Two PhD candidates in deep learning and natural language processing University of Amsterdam - Science Park Amsterdam — AcademicTransfer

Two PhD candidates in deep learning and natural language processing University of Amsterdam - Science Park Amsterdam — AcademicTransfer





PhD candidates in deep learning and natural language processing.



The positions are sought for a joint project between the Institute of Informatics (IvI) and the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC).

Deep
learning has been very successful in a number of areas (e.g., computer
vision, speech processing and natural language processing). However,
there has been little work on developing deep learning methods for
predictive analysis of complex network data (e.g., social networks,
trading networks etc.). This project fills this gap and focuses on
statistical modelling of information exchange in transaction networks.
In this work we will use very large amounts of real data from a trading
network (an industrial partner) but the methods will generalize to other
types of networks where heterogeneous data is being exchanged (e.g.,
social networks). We will be developing predictive algorithms relying on
the flow of transactions in the network (e.g., various types of
recommendations as well as detection of novel and significant events).
We also seek to cluster the businesses trading over the networks as well
as the products that are being traded. As information in these networks
mostly comes in a textual form, we will develop methods for inducing
predictive semantics representations of texts relying both on the text
itself but also on the flow of information in the network.

There are 2 PhD vacancies within this project:

  • PhD1 will focus primarily on clustering and predictive modelling (affiliated with IvI, supervised by Prof. Max Welling)
  • PhD2 will focus primarily on natural language processing (affiliated with ILLC. supervised by Dr. Ivan Titov)
Close
collaboration between the two PhD students is envisaged. The PhD
candidates will be expected to fulfil the following tasks:

  • complete and defend a PhD thesis within the official appointment duration of four years;
  • regularly
    present intermediate research results at international workshops and
    conferences, and publish them in proceedings and journals;
  • collaborate with researchers in other relevant parts of IvI and ILLC as well as with the industrial partner providing the data;
  • participate
    in the organisation of research activities and events at IvI and ILLC,
    such as conferences, workshops and joint publications;
  • assist in teaching activities at the institute they are affiliated with (IvI or ILLC).


Requirements

Necessary
qualifications for candidates include excellent grades, proven research
talent, affinity with machine learning, statistics and excellent
programming skills.

Specific requirements for each PhD position:

  • PhD
    1: A master’s degree in computer science or statistics (preferably with
    a specialization in artificial intelligence and/or machine learning);
  • PhD
    2: A master’s degree in computer science (preferably with a
    specialization in artificial intelligence and/or machine learning),
    applied mathematics or computational linguistics
Candidates
are expected to have an excellent command of English, and good academic
writing and presentation skills. Applicants are kindly requested to
motivate why they have chosen to apply for this specific position.


Conditions of employment

The
appointment will be full-time (38 hours a week) for a period of four
years (initial employment is 18 months and after a positive evaluation,
the appointment will be extended further with 30 months) and should lead
to a dissertation (PhD thesis). An educational plan that includes
attendance of courses and national and international meetings will be
drafted. The PhD candidate is also expected to assist in teaching of
undergraduates. The salary is in accordance with the university
regulations for academic personnel. The salary will range from €2,125
(first year) up to a maximum of €2,717 (last year) before tax per month
(scale P) based on a full-time appointment. There are also secondary
benefits, such as 8% holiday allowance per year and the end of year
allowance of 8.3%. The Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities is applicable.

English
is the working language within the Informatics Institute. Moreover,
since Amsterdam is a very international city where almost everybody
speaks and understands English, candidates need not be afraid of the
language barrier.

Some of the things we have to offer:

  • very friendly, interactive and international working environment;
  • new building located near the city center (20 minutes by bicycle) of one of Europe's most beautiful and lively cities;
  • access to high-end computing facilities (e.g., cluster with 4,000+ cores).
Starting date: as soon as possible before 1 January 2016.

VACANCY: PhD candidate in Anthropology for subproject ‘Sexual well-being and relationships among African migrants’

PhD candidate in Anthropology University of Amsterdam - Amsterdam — AcademicTransfer







Job description

The
AISSR and the Department of Anthropology at the University of Amsterdam
are looking for a PhD candidate who will participate in the NWO-funded
research project ‘Sexuality, Religion and Secularism. Cultural
encounters in the African Diaspora and the Netherlands’.

The PhD
candidate will conduct the subproject entitled ‘Sexual well-being and
relationships among African migrants’. This sub-project is embedded
within the larger research program titled ‘Sexuality, Religion and
Secularism. Cultural encounters in the African Diaspora and the
Netherlands’, carried out in cooperation with the University of
Groningen. The aim of this program is to research how sexual well-being
is approached from three perspectives:

  1. that of (Dutch) organizations working with a sexual health approach,
  2. that of religious actors in the African Diaspora and
  3. the perspective of African migrants themselves.
Each
of these perspectives will be researched with attention to the
particular cultural trajectories they are part of, emerging from
sub-Sahara Africa and Europe. Theoretically, the research program
conceptualizes these approaches in terms of practices and techniques of
the self. Furthermore, the research program departs from the premise
that secularity is not a neutral phenomenon, but implies particular
techniques of the self and particular ways of framing religion and
tradition.

The focus of the project for which we are currently
hiring will be on the third perspective, with the aim of researching and
analyzing the personal biographies and cultural trajectories of African
migrants in the Netherlands. The focus is on the choices they make
regarding their sexual well-being and relationships, and the ways they
understand and experience the different (religious) organisations and
agents they encounter in this search.

The PhD candidate will be
based in Amsterdam at the AISSR and will conduct up to 12 months of
fieldwork in the Randstad, the conurbation in the west of the
Netherlands that encompasses Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and Utrecht
and many smaller towns in between.

Tasks

  • Participate in the AISSR PhD programme;
  • conduct ethnographic field research;
  • write and complete a PhD dissertation within four years;
  • 10% teaching;
  • participating in conferences, workshops, seminars and other scholarly activities.

Requirements

The PhD candidate should have the following credentials:

  • have
    graduated with excellent results on a research-based MA thesis in
    Anthropology or a closely related discipline such as Cultural Sociology
    or Human Geography;
  • have relevant (ethnographic) fieldwork experience on ideally on gender and sexuality;
  • have excellent written and spoken English, and ideally fluent in French or Portuguese as well;
  • to be able and willing to work in an interdisciplinary team;
  • have the abilities to finish the PhD thesis in four years; i.e., good skills in planning, taking initiatives, academic writing.
The
faculty is committed to promote diversity and gender equality and we
strongly encourage qualified person from minority groups to apply.

Conditions of employment

The
full-time appointments will be for a period of four years (12 months
plus a further 36 months contingent on a satisfactory performance during
the first year), starting January 2016.

The gross monthly salary
will range from €2,125 in the first year to €2,717 in the final year,
based on a full-time position of 38 hours per week, plus 8% holiday
allowance and 8,3% end-of- year allowance, in conformity with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities.
