The Department of English at the University of Hamburg is seeking a Research Associate to join a team of researchers working on an interdisciplinary project, funded through the Cross-Disciplinary Labs initiative, titled "Predicting COVID-19 Vaccination Uptake from Public Discourse: A Machine Learning Approach". In this project, we will explore the relationship between public discourse and COVID-19 vaccination uptake and how to use real world data from Germany and England to track public opinion on COVID-19 vaccination, with the ultimate aim of identifying strategies to increase the uptake of COVID-19 vaccinations. The analysis will apply big data and machine learning techniques to Twitter data and will link these to information on local vaccination rates. From a policy perspective, the output of this project will inform public health responses in real time in future pandemics. At the heart of the project is an interdisciplinary approach, combining health economics and linguistics with new methods from data science.The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Professor Robert Fuchs (English Linguistics) and will join a vibrant working group focused on research in the fields of data-intensive discourse analysis, varieties of English and Learner Corpus Research (see https://sites.google.com/view/rflinguistics/home).
