In the context of the upcoming interdisciplinary project "impresso - Media  Monitoring of the Past II" ("impresso doppio"), the EPFL Digital Humanities Laboratory is looking for a post-doctoral researcher who will work with us on the design, development and evaluation of large-scale text mining pipelines for multilingual historical newspaper and radio archives.

About EPFL : EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, is one of the most dynamic university campuses in Europe and ranks among the top 20 universities worldwide. The EPFL employs more than 6,000 people supporting the three main missions of the institutions: education, research and innovation. The EPFL campus offers an exceptional working environment at the heart of a community of more than 16,000 people, including over 12,000 students and 4,000 researchers from more than 120 different countries. About the project: " impresso - Media Monitoring of the Past II" is an interdisciplinary research project which aims to pioneer new approaches to the joint exploration of newspaper and radio archive contents across time, languages, and national borders. Funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Luxembourg National Research Fund (2023-2027), it is carried by the EPFL DHLAB, the Department of Computational Linguistics of the University of Zurich, the Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C2DH) and the History Department of the University of Lausanne, with the additional support of 21 European partners.

Computational linguists, computer scientists, digital humanists, historians, and designers will work closely together to enrich and connect newspaper and radio sources through multiple layers of cutting-edge semantic enrichments represented in a shared multilingual vector space, and to design adequate, meaningful and transparent exploration capabilities for (data-driven) historical research in transnational and transmedia perspective. Impresso doppio follows on from the first impresso project which developed a scalable architecture for the processing of Swiss and Luxembourgish newspaper collections and created an interface with powerful search, filter and discovery functionalities based on semantic enrichments. The present project puts forward the vision of a complete connection between media archives across languages and media types.
