The Monash Business School is seeking expressions of interest (EOI) from Post-doctoral researchers as we progress our ambitious agenda to transform business by advancing knowledge and addressing global challenges.
Founded in 2018, SoDa Laboratories (https://www.monash.edu/business/soda-labs/home) exists to discover social science insights from alternative data. SoDa Labs couple a large appetite for rapidly emerging sources of new data with a pan-empirical toolset that ranges from causal empirical methodologies to the latest data science and machine learning approaches. SoDa is also home to the Monash IP Observatory and an expanding range of empirical and AI based applications including Forum Brain AI, SETU Explorer, and the Feedback Distillery. As such SoDa Labs will play a key role in the Policy and Governance strategic research priority.
Projects:
· Governance & policy of the Digital State
Digitization has changed how states govern. A portfolio of SoDa Lab projects seek to understand how digitization has fundamentally changed governance and statecraft around the world.
· Data for Policy
With access to modern statistical learning tools and access to large computational facilities, Monash SoDa Labs aims to provide society with structured insights from alternative data sources and describe best practices on how to use this data for policy-making. Among other things, our current projects focus on the use of high resolution satellite images to estimate local economic activity or to use large collections of event data to construct subnational measures of institutional quality and political stability.
You should expect to work 80% of your time on the projects described above, and devote the remainder to your own research agenda.
This is a unique opportunity to join a passionate team at a leading university in a triple-crown accredited business school.
