[apologies for cross-postings]
---CNRS -- National Center for Scientific Research, Paris, France Three Post-doctoral Positions -- Modeling of social networks/complex systems
Three post-doctoral positions are offered in the field of social network and complex system modeling, including one 3-year position on "quality collectives" and two 1-year positions on blog networks and opinion diffusion. Herebelow are short descriptions of each of the positions -- for more details, including application and employment details, please download the full job adverts here: http://camille.roth.free.fr/projects.php
1.
One Postdoctoral Position Offer: European Project "QLectives"
We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join CNRS to contribute to the study of the dynamics of techno-social systems and quality collectives. Experience and knowledge of research in graph theory and social network analysis, complex systems modeling and simulation-based modeling would all be advantageous. Additional notions and curiosity for internet studies, science and technology studies would be appreciated. The position will be based at CAMS (Centre d’Analyse et de Mathématique Sociales), a joint unit of CNRS and EHESS located in the heart of Paris.
The post, which may last up to three years, takes place within the European project QLectives ( http://www.qlectives.eu ), which brings together social modelers, peer-to-peer experts, computer scientists and physicists to design and deploy self-organizing collaborative “quality” knowledge production and sharing systems.
Applications received by October 25, 2009 will receive fullest consideration, but applications will continue to be accepted until the position is filled. Interviews are expected to be held around the end of October 2009/beginning of November, while the contract may start *on or after* November 9th, 2009. For informal discussions, please contact Dr. Camille Roth ( roth@ehess.fr ) and Dr. Frédéric Amblard ( frederic.amblard@univ-tlse1.fr ).

Two Postdoctoral Position Offers: ANR Project "Webfluence"
We are looking for two postdoctoral researchers to join CNRS to contribute to the study of the dynamics of blog networks, in particular their morphogonesis and the information/opinion diffusion processes occuring therein. Experience and knowledge of research in graph theory, social network analysis and complex systems modeling would all be advantageous. Additional notions and curiosity for internet studies would be appreciated.
The two posts, which both are one-year fixed-term contracts, take place within Webfluence ( http://webfluence.csregistry.org ), an ANR- financed project active from January 2009 until December 2010. The project gathers CNRS, University of Paris-VI (LIP6), Orange Labs and RTGI; bringing together social modelers, computer scientists, sociologists, mathematicians, physicists, and engineers. Part of the project specifically endeavors at describing, interpreting, modeling and reconstructing the structure and dynamics of specific socio- semantic networks of the blogosphere (including for instance French blogs of political opinion, blogs dealing with leisure activities, etc.).
Applications received by October 31, 2009 will receive fullest consideration, but applications will continue to be accepted until positions are filled. Interviews are expected to be held around during the first two weeks of November, while the contract may start *on or after* December 1st, 2009. For informal discussions, please contact Dr. Camille Roth ( roth@ehess.fr ).
