SUMMARY:PhD Researcher (f/m/x) – Natural language processing in understan
 ding narratives linked to adaptation to climate extremes (Department of Ur

DESCRIPTION:Working time: 65 % (25\,35 hours/week).\nContract duration: The
  position is initially limited to 36 months.\nEarliest start date: May 1\,
  2023\n\nYour tasks\n\nThe successful candidate will develop and apply nat
 ural language processing (NLP) methods to analyze narratives on climate-re
 lated events\, such as floods\, droughts\, heatwaves and storms. The goal 
 is to identify which (i) narratives are predominant in media coverage and 
 political discourse surrounding climate-related events\, (ii) how they evo
 lve over time and (iii) how they are linked to climate change adaptation. 
 To this end\, a text-as-data approach (using e.g. policy documents\, newsp
 apers\, laws\, and social media) will be applied. Prof. Christian Kuhlicke
  (University of Potsdam) will be the University supervisor\, and Dr. Maria
 na Madruga de Brito will be the UFZ advisor. In order to meet the project 
 aims\, the PhD candidate will:\n\n 	Investigate how extreme events such as
  floods\, droughts and heatwaves influence political and media narratives 
 on the need to adapt to climate change\n 	Identify which societal actors (
 e.g. NGOs\, government\, industry) are linked to distinct narrative types\
 n 	Analyse the causal relationships between such disasters and changes in 
 the discourse over time and across different regions (e.g. Germany\, Europ
 e)\n 	High-level publication of research results\n\nWe offer\n\n 	A vibran
 t research community in an open\, diverse and international work environme
 nt\n 	Scientific excellence and extensive professional networking opportun
 ities\n 	Excellent support and optimal subject-specific and general traini

  profile\n\n 	Master’s degree in digital humanities\, geography\, comput
 er social sciences or related discipline\n 	Programming and statistical co
 mpetence (e.g. R or Python)\n 	Familiarity with machine learning\, natural
  language processing is beneficial\n 	Proficiency in English\n 	Basic skil
