Liberal Arts Prof Offering Summer Undergraduate RA Opportunity

Experience: computational social science research on science, technology and AI

Description: Hi there! I’m Likun, an assistant professor of sociology and a computational social scientist at Purdue University, West Lafayette. My research explores the social and political forces that shape how we think and produce knowledge—particularly in science and technology—and how emerging forms of knowledge, such as artificial intelligence, transform our social world. We are seeking a research assistant with strong coding and writing skills to help collect and analyze data, prepare manuscripts, and collaborate with graduate students on virtual experiments. This opportunity is ideal for those planning to apply to graduate programs in sociology or computational social science, or interested in pursuing a career as a data scientist. The position also offers continued involvement in our projects for those who wish to deepen their engagement and gain further research training.

The position is listed on the SummerStay page under the College of Liberal Arts (“Experience: computational social science research on science, technology and AI”): https://www.purdue.edu/summerstay/students/research-opportunities.html. Apply today
