Three Post-Docs in (Computational) Communication Science

Project 1 is part of the ongoing project "Modeling news flows: How feedback loops influence citizens beliefs and shape democracy" (NEWSFLOWS). Projects 2 and 3 are part of the upcoming consortium project "Twin of Online Networks" (TWON).

Projects 2 and 3 are part of the new consortium project "Twin of Online Networks" (TWON), with partners from the Netherlands, Germany, Slovakia, and Serbia. They are supervised by Corinna Oschatz and Damian Trilling. The goal of the project is to develop a novel empirical method for systematically researching the effects of design choices of mechanisms inside online social networks, by creating digital twins of social network sites, called TWONs. Such a TWON can then be used to study counterfactuals, such as: How would the effects look like, had the online social network been designed differently? We will combine empirical observations of existing OSNs, theory-informed simulations, and specific case studies.
