Also, is it not "real" if it's qualitative analysis? Because qual analysis is how to best study language and visual communication, which is the data generated on social media.

Gotta say, it's a nice touch to describe the outcome of 10+ years of education as the ability to write 'opinions and half-baked narratives'

Also, what do they actually mean by 'social media'? Off the top of my head, there's: 1) the ability to share information peer-to-peer more easily? 2) black-box algorithms about what gets seen? 3) corporate policies & financial incentives? 4) [etc.]

It's interesting they seek computer scientists, data sci, maths & politics - but don't specify sociology, anthro & other social sciences & humanities. We're not even real scientists though, so that solves that riddle.

I look forward to the next ad where they realise they absolutely cannot do good work without the theories, concepts, methods & input of social sciences & humanities.

Our objective opinions are objective and quantifiable! Politics is important and needs maths! Social media is frivolous opinions! Let's study it with REAL SCIENCE, cloak it in stats, publish it, so it becomes *not* frivolous half baked opinions.
