        Subject: 2 postdoc & 2 phd positions, ALGOFOLK project, University of Bergen

Hello,

some positions that might be of interest to people on this list.

I am hiring two postdoctoral researchers and two phd researchers to work
on my project ALGOFOLK (Algorithmic folklore: The mutual shaping of
vernacular creativity and automation) at the University of Bergen. These
are 3-year and 4-year full-time positions embedded within a generously
funded research project working at the intersection of digital
sociology/anthropology, critical AI studies, STS, and digital
humanities. I am looking to hire people with a background in social
sciences and humanities, an interest in the social life of technology,
and a global outlook, as well as documented experience with ethnographic
and digital humanities methods.

The deadline is May 7th, and I encourage anyone who might be interested
to get in touch with me for more details on the project.
