The Department of Social Sciences at the University Carlos III Madrid (UC3M) and the IC3JM institute seeks to hire up to 2 post-docs (or advanced pre-docs). Each recruit will be offered a 1-year contract, potentially renewable one time, for a maximum of two years. Salary is competitive and generous with regards to living standards. Post-docs can expect a pre-tax yearly salary of around 47k euros. Pre-docs can expect a 30-35k euros (pre-tax) yearly salary. Recruits may work remotely up to 25% of the time.

The positions are funded through a European Research Council (ERC) consolidator grant led by Dr. Simon Chauchard. Accordingly, hires will be associated to the development of the new Polarization, Identity and Misinformation (PIM) Lab and to the “POLARCHATS” ERC project, focused on misinformation and its consequences in the Global South.

Recruits will be core member of the POLARCHATS team and of the PIM lab, and they will (based on a roadmap determined during the final stages of the selection process) co-author some of the analyses at the core of the ERC POLARCHATS project. As a rule of thumb, recruits should be expected to spend at least 30-50% of their time on POLARCHATS-related projects, in collaboration with Simon Chauchard and a network of co-authors. Recruits will also contribute to the organization of the PIM Lab.
