(02) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc summary/title: Postdoctoral Researcher (3 years) in Political Communication Research with a Focus on News Audience Research 80 %

The Political Communication Division, led by Prof. Dr. Anne Schulz, at the Department of Communication and Media Research (IKMZ), University of Zurich is seeking to fill the position of a postdoctoral researcher within the SNSF-funded research project “Amidst Abundant Negativity. Studying Negative News, its Social and Political Effects, and Solutions for Sustainable Consumption Across Time and Across Countries”.

The project investigates negativity in the news and how negative news impacts mental well-being and political learning while exploring innovative solutions to keep audiences informed without compromising their mental health. Through a comprehensive approach, our team examines i) historical trends in news negativity across multiple countries (using novel approaches to computational text analysis), studies ii) the trade-offs between emotional well-being and political engagement (via web tracking and longitudinal surveys), and iii) delves into newsroom practices (qualitative interviews). Ultimately, our research iv) examines possible solutions to the discussed problems (using experimental designs).

Deadline : 11 May 2025

(05) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral researcher in social sciences with strong background in data science and complex survey methdology 60 – 80 %

The Department of Sociology at the University of Zurich, established in 1966, is one of the leading institutes in Europe known for its excellent theory-driven empirical research with a strong focus on quantitative methods.
The Swiss Job Market Monitor (SJMM) collects a world-wide unique, comparable and representative database of job advertisements from 1950 onwards. For this purpose, the SJMM has developed a state-of-the-art data and survey infrastructure based on fully automated web scraping methods and specially developed NLP models for information extraction. The potential of big data can thus be optimally exploited.
The planned substantial expansion of the database makes the adaptation of the sampling and weighting design necessary to ensure representativeness and compararability across time together with establishing compatibility with past extensions of the database.
This unique dataset opens up new and innovative perspectives in labor market and social inequality research, promising to fill several important research gaps.
The SJMM team is part of the Department of Sociology at the University of Zurich and is headed by Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. Marlis Buchmann and Prof. Dr. Katja Rost.

(08) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: PostDoc Position in Personalized Visual Analytics: Human Preference Elicitation for Ranking-Based Multi-Criteria Decision Support 100 %

Multi-criteria decision support through item ranking is an understudied research direction. Current solutions exhibit considerable limitations, primarily due to their inability to meet the multi-faceted nature of human decision-making. Choosing between thousands of relevant items is a common task, where people are left alone with the need to express and balance multiple desirable preferences at once. Item rankings are a popular and universal approach to structuring unorganized item collections by multiple criteria at the same time. In interactive solutions, people can express multiple preferences, used by algorithms to compute human-centered and personal rankings. Visual Analytics (VA) is a field of research that supports complex human decision-making tasks by bringing together human intellectuality with the computational power of algorithms in effective human-in-the-loop approaches.
In this project, we will demonstrate how cutting-edge VA principles can be transferred to item ranking, to overcome remaining challenges, demonstrate effective and efficient interactive ranking creation solutions, and empower broad audiences. Limitations of ranking systems mainly include their incompatibility for the elicitation of item- and attribute-based preferences, insufficient handling of user-introduced uncertainty, inadequate guidance for engaging with large item sets, lacking interaction histories, inefficient human-centric feedback loops, or a lack of explanations and transparency of ranking algorithms, thus creating a disconnect between the technology and nuanced user needs. Finally, interactive ranking creation does not yet make use of interfaces for eliciting implicit user preferences, e.g., in textual form using large language models.

(09) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral Researcher – image analysis/bioinformatics – Spatio-temporal genome and oncogene organization in cancer 80 – 100 %

The Surdez lab at the University of Zurich is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher with expertise in image analysis and bioinformatics. This position offers an exciting opportunity to visualize and decipher the spatio-temporal organization of the genome and oncogenes in cancer.

Join our dynamic team, which focuses on aggressive pediatric bone cancers, particularly on Ewing sarcoma. In a recent study, we demonstrated how the STAG2 mutation, prevalent in this cancer, alters the formation of chromatin loops, resulting in increased invasive properties of mutated cells (Surdez et al. 2021, Cancer Cell). Currently, we are leveraging super-resolution microscopy and innovative molecular technologies to decipher and perturb these mechanisms in live cancer cell models.

As a Postdoctoral Researcher, you will be responsible for analyzing confocal and super-resolution microscopy data related to spatio-temporal genome and oncogene regulation. The role also involves comparing Hi-ChIP data with imaging data and developing computational tools to analyze and visualize chromatin conformation and oncogene regulation. Working closely with biologists, you will utilize cutting-edge computational approaches to model and decipher these mechanisms at the real-time scale.
