Seeking postdoctoral researchers for ERC project IDENTITY ERROR

Dear Colleagues
Please help connect people in your network with this ERC-funded postdoc opportunity in our department.

"The project will combine computational modelling and group-based experiments to scale individual models of epistemic vulnerability (i.e., belief in misinformation/conspiracy theories) to a social level."

Many thanks,

Mike

The ERC-funded IDENTITY ERROR project is hiring 2 Postdoctoral Researchers (hosted in the Psychology Department in UL). The project will combine computational modelling and group-based experiments to scale individual models of epistemic vulnerability (i.e., belief in misinformation/conspiracy theories) to a social level. There is a computational post that will require some knowledge of network analysis and/or agent-based modelling, and a social psychology post that will require experience conducting behavioral experiments. We are a supportive group of interdisciplinary researchers, and we do not expect either postdoc to have full knowledge of these methods. We only expect a willingness to learn and a curious attitude. Further details on each post can be found at the links below. The closing dates for applications are October 28th (computational postdoc) and November 3rd (psychology postdoc). 

Each post is estimated to last for 3 years. Contact paul.maher AT ul.ie for enquires.
