Come be my friend! We're hiring an Instructional Professor in Computational Social Science at the University of Chicago. We welcome candidates from the broad research and teaching areas of computational social science, computational psychology, information science, and data science. Potential areas of focus include but are not limited to machine learning, deep learning, digital experimentation, natural language processing, data science, and data mining. We especially welcome applications from members of underrepresented groups in computing. Professors will teach in the Master of Arts in Computational Social Science (MACSS), a two-year interdisciplinary MA program that trains students in the theory and methods of algorithmic, cutting-edge computational techniques. The IP is a professional track at the University of Chicago, open to rank (Assistant, Associate, or full Instructional Professor level). The teaching load consists of four courses and mentoring responsibilities within the program.
If you or a prospective applicant has any questions about the position, please contact me ([email protected]), my co-faculty director, Marc Berman ([email protected]), or our associate director, Jean Clipperton ([email protected]). Full listing here: https://t.co/LKGAB9Lu1p. Review begins February 15.

The Louvain method was first published online in March 2008. 15 years later, it just received its 20,000th citation. It is great to think of the many research projects and results that have been built on it. Many thanks to @vincentblondel, Etienne Lefebvre and Jean-Loup Guillaume

In this paper, we ask how long ties in networks are related to economic outcomes? What is the interplay between tie strength & range? What makes some people more likely to develop these valuable ties?
