About the project/work tasks:

The applicant must propose an individual project in computational narrative systems that will be the focus of the postdoctoral work. The Center for Digital Narrative's Computational Narrative Systems node studies and researches the computational modeling of narrative, which includes developing new computational models of narrative and re-implementing historical models.

The successful applicant will collaborate with researchers within the Center's Computational Narrative Systems node and from MIT to achieve jointly authored research results. The applicant is also expected to re-implement historical narrative systems in Python and help determine the course of a larger collaborative CNS project dealing with such systems.

Minimum Requirements:
  • The position as postdoctoral research fellow requires a Norwegian doctoral degree or an equivalent foreign doctoral degree in digital culture, digital humanities, computational media, or a related field, including computer science if the dissertation project had a significant humanistic component.
  • The applicant must be capable of programming in Python in a research context.
  • The applicant must be proficient in both written and oral English.
  • The applicant cannot previously have been employed as a postdoctoral fellow at UiB.
  • The applicant should have a genuine interest in AI, and the research proposal must be related to computational narrative systems.
Experience Considered an Advantage:
  • Experience with narrative theory, computational creativity with narrative as the domain, and/or cognitive science approaches to narrative.
  • Familiarity with the history of story generation and related areas of computing.
  • Experience in software development and programming as inquiry particularly situated in a humanities research context.
  • Having released and maintained software for the use of researchers, educators, and/or students.
What we offer:
  • An engaged and professionally stimulating working environment.
  • Welfare benefits and social benefits including pension-saving in the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund, occupational injury insurance, full salary during sick leave for 52 weeks, and paid parental leave.
  • Extension of the position term due to sick leave and parental leave.
  • Position as postdoctoral fellow with a gross annual salary of NOK 645,000 upon appointment.
  • High standards for working hours, holidays, place of work, health, and safety.
  • Access to specific training activities exclusively provided within the framework of the LEAD AI programme.
  • Norwegian language courses free of charge.
How to apply:

Your application must include:

  • Research proposal (5 pages) relevant to the AI-related research themes defined by LEAD AI host research groups in the call.
  • A CV, including publication list.
  • Mobility declaration with supporting documentation.
  • Table of potential ethics and security issues that might apply to the research proposal.
  • An initial self-assessment of opportunities for mandatory and recommended open science practices.
  • Scanned copy of the PhD diploma or documentation of formally delivered doctoral thesis.
