Come join the CorTexT Research Infrastructure in Paris as a junior professor!
After ten years of existence, the CorText platform has grown. Since its inception, it has been a place that brings together skills in digital methods and computational resources to support the development of researches in Social Sciences and Humanities. It is therefore by nature at the service of a collective. This particular relationship has guided its activities in favour of scientific questions raised by researchers. These fruitful interactions have enabled the deployment of a wide variety of objects (web applications, visualizations, algorithms, etc.) often at the forefront of their technical and scientific fields (text analysis, social media, data science). In return, the platform is feeding more and more work.
