Dear Friends and Colleagues: We are looking for three researchers to join our team of computational social scientists at Oxford.  Ideally, we'd like to have one person interested in the sociology of algorithmic production, another interested in the law/policy implications of bots and trolls, and another in the computational analysis of political bots and botnets. http://politicalbots.org/?p=518 We've designed appointments as flexible predocs OR postdocs. This allows us to build an internationally distributed team of social and computer scientists who share interests but may be working at different stages of fieldwork or writing. If the intellectual fit is good there may be other ways we can support collaboration across different kinds of career paths. Diversity in backgrounds, methods, and perspectives has consistently improved our research output and public scholarship, so please apply if you improve our social, cultural and human capital. There are some residence and visa regulations to abide by, but if you think the fit is right consider applying to come to Oxford for a research appointment. Best, Phil Dr. Philip N. Howard Professor, Oxford University GPG Key: 9CAAEABC www.philhoward.org @pnhoward
