About this position

Bocconi University is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for a project that uses artificial intelligence to turn narratives into testable causal models. Funded by the Tech Europe Foundation and conducted in collaboration with the AI in Social Sciences (AISS) lab, the project sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, causal inference, natural language processing, and computational social science.

The research will develop an applied-AI system that reads narratives about cause and effect and extracts the causal model they propose. The system will identify the action, mechanism, expected outcome, evidence, and missing assumption that should be tested next. The work addresses how people use stories to justify decisions in politics, strategy, and entrepreneurship.

Initial applications include comparing how politicians and experts argue about the same issue, examining how successful policy narratives originate and spread, and helping founders test assumptions about their businesses. The postdoctoral researcher will work with Guido Tabellini and Alfonso Gambardella and contribute to the activities of the AISS lab.

The position offers a research environment combining technical AI development with substantive engagement in the social sciences, particularly political decision-making, policy analysis, strategy, and entrepreneurship.

Funding details

The 24-month postdoctoral position is funded by the Tech Europe Foundation and is renewable for up to two additional years. No stipend or salary amount is stated.

What's required

Applicants should be computer scientists interested in engaging deeply with the social sciences, or social scientists with substantial technical skills. Deep knowledge of large language models and text-as-data, strong programming skills, and expertise in validating automated measures against human judgment are listed as advantages.

How to apply

Review the call and submit an application through the linked application page. Applications are due by 30 November 2026.
