2. Postdoctoral Fellow in Political Science “Citizen Responses to European Union Communication”

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

At the Department of Sociology and Political Science (ISS), NTNU Trondheim there is a vacant temporary position as Postdoctoral Fellow in political science for a period of three years, with 67% research and 33% teaching obligation. The position is connected to the research group Elections, Values, and Political Communication The position is intended to engage in a research project on “Citizen Responses to European Union Communication”. European Union (EU) institutions are acutely aware that their legitimacy is precarious. Many citizens are skeptical toward the EU and oppose membership. EU institutions therefore invest a lot of resources into communication. Through communicative authority exercise, they try to bolster the EU’s legitimacy in the eyes of its citizens. The EU sends out daily press releases, reports to specific sectoral stake holders, its officials travel to all member states to engage with citizens, and every major EU institution and official has their own social media accounts, to reach out to citizens directly.

12. Postdoctoral Fellow in Distributed Data Processing and Inference in Emerging IoT and Wireless Systems

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

The position is linked to the project Resource-aware IoT with Enhanced Intelligence and Security, funded by the Research Council of Norway. The project deals with big data, the internet of things (IoT), and artificial intelligence as critical enablers of digital transformation. In particular, big data analytics allow us to discover hidden connections between seemingly unrelated things. However, running machine-learning-based analytics on a single central processor is often impractical due to the sheer scale of big data. In addition, in the emerging paradigm of the internet of things (IoT), large volumes of data are constantly gathered by numerous sensors and devices, which are often geographically dispersed or mobile to make matters even more challenging. This makes concentrating the data at a central processing hub unfeasible due to constraints on the energy budgets of the sensors, integrity of data holders, and the capacity of the communication channels. Thus, robust data processing over networks of machines/agents is essential for performing big-data analytics in future IoT-based applications. Consequently, the project’s main objectives are developing and analyzing robust resource-efficient machine learning algorithms for inference and decision-making in emerging wireless systems. The postdoctoral research fellow will have the opportunity to be affiliated with the IoT@NTNU and the Norwegian Open AI lab and collaborate with research scientists from international partner institutions. The hired candidate is to conduct research with Prof. Stefan Werner and possibly guide other students associated with the team. Preference will be given to candidates who can work independently and have a strong potential to build competence in distributed federated machine learning, privacy-preserving learning, and inference in IoT and wireless systems.
