About this position

This postdoctoral appointment sits in the School of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Sydney and contributes to two ARC Discovery Projects: Genes germs and gender: the rise and impact of bioessentialism and Symbiotic Synergies: How the Body Became a Chimera (1950-2000).

The project focuses on developing and deploying bibliometric methods and AI-powered text analysis to identify concepts and conceptual patterns in very large bodies of text. The successful researcher will build classification models that detect conceptual and rhetorical features across news media, social media, and academic literature, helping the group generate empirical evidence for philosophical investigations.

The role is embedded in a large interdisciplinary team of philosophers, historians, psychologists, and scientists. It offers scope to work across digital humanities and philosophy of science, while contributing to the construction of text corpora and the interpretation of model outputs in relation to philosophical and psychological theory.

Key research activity includes corpus curation and preparation, automated text classification, and the development of machine-learning and LLM-based workflows to support concept detection across diverse textual sources. The postholder will also contribute to publications, conference presentations, and open-science outputs such as code, data, and documentation for public repositories.

Funding details

Base salary Academic Level A: $117,936 - $125,896 per year, plus 17% superannuation; full-time, 2 years fixed term with potential extension to a 3rd year.

What's required

A PhD in a relevant field in the digital humanities is required. The successful candidate should have experience curating, cleaning and structuring large corpora; experience using NLP and/or ML to build and evaluate text classification models; experience with prompt engineering techniques; an interest in interdisciplinary collaboration; the ability to translate conceptual research questions into computational tasks; strong written communication skills; a track record of peer-reviewed publication; and the ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative, interdisciplinary team.
