Opening for Undergraduate and Graduate Students

I am seeking at least 4 Undergraduate-MPhil (启明实验班本硕连读) student @ HUST to work together. Senior undergraduate students are preferred. Graduate students are also welcome if I could be your co-advisor with the approval of your primary advisor. Students will design and run research studies, analyze data, prepare publications, and be core members of the collective intellectual community.

I am particularly open to candidates who are interested in interdisciplinary research. Candidates with diverse academic background are welcomed! (e.g., Physics, Automatic Control, Computer Science)

Potential assets for applicants include: Experience with lab/online experiments, computational skills (e.g. machine learning, web programming, natural language processing, developing and working with LLMs), experience with social media data collection/experimentation, and knowledge of fields such as social psychology, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, marketing, political science, and/or communications. That being said, I do not have a set vision of the skill sets I am looking to add to my group, so I would encourage anyone interested in the topics of "AI + Social Science" to apply, regardless of background!

Ideal candidates will be creative, independent, and deeply engaged. Fecessary funds will be available to the student, as will many opportunities for outside collaboration.

Please send your CV, and statement of interest (two pages max) to my email.
