What is a Computational Media job?

A Computational Media job involves blending computer science, digital media, and design to create interactive experiences, games, animations, and other digital content. Professionals in this field work in areas such as game development, user experience (UX) design, virtual reality (VR), and interactive storytelling. They use programming, graphic design, and media theory to develop engaging digital applications. Careers may include roles like game designer, software developer, UI/UX designer, or multimedia artist.

What are some typical projects or responsibilities for someone working in Computational Media?

Professionals in Computational Media often work on a range of projects such as interactive websites, digital storytelling experiences, video games, VR/AR applications, or multimedia installations. Daily responsibilities may include coding interactive elements, designing user interfaces, collaborating with artists and writers, or prototyping new digital experiences. The role is highly collaborative, requiring frequent teamwork with designers, developers, and content creators to bring complex multimedia projects to life. This dynamic environment allows for creative expression and technical growth, as each project presents new challenges and learning opportunities.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Computational Media position, and why are they important?

To thrive in Computational Media, you need a strong blend of programming skills, digital design proficiency, and an understanding of interdisciplinary media concepts, often supported by a degree in computational media, computer science, or related fields. Familiarity with tools such as Unity, Adobe Creative Suite, HTML/CSS/JavaScript, and experience with interactive media platforms are highly valuable, and certifications in these areas can be beneficial. Creative problem-solving, strong communication, and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams are important soft skills for this role. These competencies enable professionals to design, develop, and deliver compelling digital experiences that blend technology and creative content in innovative ways.

Job description

Description
The Software and Societal Systems Department, in the School of Computer Science, at Carnegie Mellon University is looking to hire two Post-Doctoral Associate who are interested in applying computational social science approaches to the study of online harms. Ongoing projects in which these postdocs will be involved include - assessment of influence campaigns and measuring their impact, meme analysis, online threat detection, assessment of techniques for countering information maneuvers, differences in online harms and influence campaigns across countries, geo-spatial differences in online harms. Successful applicants will need experience in either or both agent-based modeling and social network analysis/network science. The ideal candidate should be able to program in C or C and have experience working with tera-bytes of data. Preference for those who can also program in Python and know standard network analysis techniques and metrics such as community detection and centralities. Prefernce for those with experience in geo-spatial analysis, assessment of images, or assessment of memes. Preference for those with experience working with large scale data, millions of actors and messages. Successful candidates will work on at least two related agent-based simulation and empirical analysis projects, develop and run virtual experiments, analyze existing social media data, document results, write papers with Dr. Carley and possibly relevant PhD students, and present those results in the IDeaS conference. Candidates should be interested in studying behavior where the media posts are in non-English languages i.e. Chinese and Russian.
Qualifications
• Must have a PhD in STEM Field (including computational or mathematical social science).
• Ability to program in C and Python.
• Must know basic statistics.
• Experience in social network analysis.
• Experience using, building, validating and working generally with ABM's.
• Excellent writing skills for academic writing.
