The posting
Young and research-intensive, Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is ranked among the world’s top universities. NTU’s Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information (WKWSCI) is highly respected for its strong record of academic research and global experiential learning. WKWSCI is part of the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (CoHASS), which aims to be Asia’s leading centre for innovative, interdisciplinary Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences research and practice. CoHASS is also home to the Asian Centre for Digital Cultures and works closely with NTU’s Institute for AI and Ethics, where interdisciplinary collaboration happens among humanities, arts and social science scholars, and computer scientists and engineers.
As computational methods reshape communication studies, we seek a scholar to study, lead, and define this computational turn into the future.
WKWSCI at NTU Singapore seeks exceptional candidates for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Computational Analysis of Communication.
The School is seeking a scholar specializing in network analysis, data analytics, computational communication research and/or computational social science. The candidate should possess a PhD in Communication, Computational Social Science, Information Science, Data Science, or a related discipline, with a research focus relevant to communication and social phenomena.
