Postdoctoral fellow position<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We offer a\u00a0postdoctoral\u00a0fellow position for the period\u00a0until 30 June 2026<\/span> in the Group of Physics in Economics and Social Sciences<\/a> at Faculty of Physics<\/a>, Warsaw University of Technology, in the research project Information overload in multilevel agent-based complex networks<\/strong> financed by Excellence Initiative \u2013 Research University Programme POSTDOC IV and directly connected to an EU HE MSCA Staff Exchange project OMINO (http:\/\/ominoproject.eu<\/a>) coordinated at WUT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Position scope:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Successful candidate is expected to work toward understanding the collective phenomena related to the dissemination of information and information overload (IOL) at different levels (including the issue of interactions between levels produced by IOLs) using interdisciplinary methods of statistical physics – agent modeling and complex network analysis. Various scenarios leading to IOL will be considered, and emphasis will be placed on the identification of microscopic factors responsible for emergent phenomena in social networks, as well as on the basis of the developed models, possible countermeasures will be proposed to eliminate the occurrence of IOL. In particular, the project plans to identify potential precursors of IOLs using linear response theory and study the dynamic coupling between IOLs and the network structure. The expected results of the project are to propose methods and scenarios of counteracting IOL in the event that the considered structure is a specific real system, e.g., a social network or relations between workplaces in a company. The postdoc will be supervised by Prof. Janusz Ho\u0142yst<\/strong> and co-supervised by Dr. Julian Sienkiewicz<\/strong> (see Our Team<\/a> for Group members description).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
