A two-year postdoctoral position starting in October 2024 is available to work within the MapCDPerNets project (https://www.mapcdpernets.es). The project explores the existence of a sociocultural continuum able to predict the consistency of observed cultural dimensions and patterns of interaction, and develop a set of network measures oriented to capture this “cultural signature”. The project is funded through a generous grant of the Fundamentos Programme of Fundación BBVA and involves researchers from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona and University of Florida.
The postdoctoral research will join the GISC and RySC groups at UC3M. This is a unique opportunity to work at the interface of complex systems with internet measurements and web transparency and privacy. Thus, GISC, led by Anxo Sánchez (project coordinator) focuses on topics such as personal networks: evolution, structure, prediction; social norms and their relationship with behavior, as well as their measurement in experiments; behavioral experiments, and evolutionary game theory, whereas the RySC team participating in the project led by Rubén and Ángel Cuevas has a long background of developing advanced methodologies to collect large scale datasets from major technological players including Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. The postdoctoral researcher will be based at the Leganés campus of UC3M, some 20 km away from Madrid downtown and easily reachable by train.
