*** PhD Studentship ***
PhD Studentship | Social Statistics with focus on Digital and Computational Demography
About the Project
We are pleased to invite applications to a 3.5-year University of Manchester<https://www.manchester.ac.uk/> doctoral studentship in Social Statistics. The studentship is jointly funded by the Social Statistics Department, University of Manchester, UK, and the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR), Germany, one of the world-leading research centres in population sciences.
In many countries, migration has become a key driver of population change. However, traditional data on migration often lack precision, are biased or are reported with large delays. Digital traces and big data often contain information on human mobility but new methods are required to use and integrate these new forms of data with data derived from traditional sources. This is an excellent opportunity for highly-motivated and qualified candidates to work with an international team on developing cutting-edge novel statistical and computational methods in estimating and forecasting human migration with the use of traditional and new forms of data, including for developing and low-income countries. Research outputs will also contribute to the Human Migration Database, currently developed by the MPIDR.
The successful applicant will spend the first 21 months at the Social Statistics Department<https://www.findaphd.com/common/clickCount.aspx?theid=180860&type=184&DID=7…>, University of Manchester. They will be working in a vibrant community of PhD students in Social Statistics, Social Data Analytics and Biosocial Research. They will participate in research activities of the Department, such as seminars and research away-days, and will have an opportunity to teach as Graduate Teaching Assistants. The remainder of the 21 months of the studentship will be spent at the MPIDR in the Department of Digital and Computational Demography.<https://www.findaphd.com/common/clickCount.aspx?theid=180860&type=184&DID=7…> The successful candidate is expected to enroll in the MPIDR IMPRS-PHDS programme.<https://www.findaphd.com/common/clickCount.aspx?theid=180860&type=184&DID=7…>
It is expected that the PhD student will prepare a thesis as a collection of research articles according to the postgraduate research policies of the University of Manchester.

PhD Student | Research Group Migration and Health Inequalities
The Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) is seeking to appoint a full-time PhD student to join the ERC-funded Research Group on Migration and Health Inequalities<https://www.demogr.mpg.de/en/research_6120/independent_research_groups_1166…>. The group, led by Silvia Loi<https://www.demogr.mpg.de/en/about_us_6113/staff_directory_1899/silvia_loi_…>, brings together experts from Demography, Quantitative Sociology, and Social Epidemiology to address the pressing scientific and societal question: Why do immigrants age in poorer health compared to non-immigrants?
The research group agenda builds up on these three research areas:
1. quantify the gaps in healthy ageing trajectories between immigrants and non-immigrants by age, gender, socioeconomic status, and their interactions;
2. identify the critical events and circumstances in immigrants' lives that put them on a different healthy ageing trajectory from non-immigrants;
3. study the impact of family composition and family ties in mitigating health inequalities by migration background.
We are seeking a qualified and highly motivated student with a quantitative background with interests at the intersection of migration, ageing and health, broadly defined. The successful candidate must have a Master's degree in Demography, Sociology, Social Epidemiology or related fields, and a strong quantitative background. Candidates with interests in topics surrounding migration, health and ageing in any setting and comparing across gender, socioeconomic class, or geographical location are welcome. Demonstrable skills in R or Stata are highly desirable.

This month's presentations:
Collective Attention Across Wikipedia and the WebBy *Patrick Gildersleve,
University of Exeter*Wikipedia, as one of the most popular websites
globally, serves as an important indicator of collective attention online.
Readers of news and social media often turn to Wikipedia as a secondary
resource for supporting or clarifying information, and this is reflected in
the patterns of page views and edits on the online encyclopaedia. Wikipedia
is also not just a vast repository of information; it is a network of
interconnected articles that exists within the broader ecosystem of the
World Wide Web. To fully comprehend the dynamics of online popularity, we
must study how individuals navigate between articles and how external
platforms drive traffic to Wikipedia, not just Wikipedia articles (or
alternative online records) in isolation. In this talk, I will review
research on how major news events spark networked surges of collective
attention to Wikipedia articles, how Twitter users both navigate and
contribute to Wikipedia in response to viral social media content, and how
we can combine data from Reddit and Wikipedia to study patterns of
attention towards current events, influxes of traffic from social media
towards Wikipedia, and the use of Wikipedia in discussions on social
media.Architectural
styles of curiosity in global Wikipedia mobile app readershipBy *Dale Zhou,
University of California, Irvine*A historico-philosophical examination of
texts over two millennia previously revealed three styles of curiosity: the
wandering “busybody”, the targeted “hunter,” and the creative “dancer.” In
this talk, I will review network signatures of these three styles from an
analysis of 482,760 readers using Wikipedia’s mobile app in 14 languages
from 50 countries or territories. By measuring the structure of knowledge
networks constructed by readers weaving a thread through articles in
Wikipedia, we expand upon prior work in the laboratory that found evidence
for distinct knowledge network architectures constructed by each curiosity
style. Moreover, we found associations, globally, between the structure of
knowledge networks and population-level indicators of spatial navigation,
education, mood, well-being, and inequality. This presentation will
describe how these findings advance our understanding of Wikipedia’s global
readership and demonstrate how cultural and geographical properties of the
digital environment relate to different styles of curiosity.

Dear Wikipedia editors,
The Stanford OVAL Lab<https://oval.cs.stanford.edu/> is developing a research tool to help Wikipedia editors identify and resolve factual inconsistencies across articles.
We are seeking Wikipedia editors to evaluate our research prototype and help us improve its functionality.
Our tool streamlines the process of detecting inconsistencies by offering helpful features like fact extraction and improved Wikipedia search. Some of these features use Large Language Models (LLMs) in a controlled manner, with the goal of helping editors find more inconsistencies in Wikipedia with less time and effort. Currently, this tool is in the research prototype stage. With your support, we aim to develop a refined version that will be freely available to the broader community in the future.
+++ Interested? Please fill out this form<https://forms.gle/vFLVYNeQtgNUvhwZ8>! +++
