NOTES AND QUERIES:

University of Utrecht (NL) - Center for the Humanities, Digital Humanities Fellowship
This cluster will sharpen the academic awareness of the public perception of the University as a humanistic institution today. It compares notes on different and new concepts of ‘the Human’, drawn from as broad an interdisciplinary field as possible. Mostly it aims at mapping new developments in the relationship between the Humanities and both the social and the natural sciences in the twenty-first century. It thus interrogates the relationship between the ‘two cultures’ of the Humanities and Science in the light of contemporary scientific and technological developments and new epistemologies, with special emphasis on the sophisticated forms of interdisciplinary research that have emerged in the fields of bio-technologies, neural sciences, environmental and climate change research and Information and Communication Technologies. These rapid changes affect the very definitions of the human and of human evolution and thus affect the research agenda of the Humanities. The project studies the specific new forms of inter- and transdisciplinary interaction between the Humanities, the Social and the natural sciences and examines how a culture of ‘mutual respect’ can be developed across all the disciplines today.

The focus for this theme will be: Digital Humanities

The Digital Humanities, also known as Humanistic Informatics or Humanities Computing are a fast-growing field that ranges from digital library resources and digital publishing to research on new media and information technologies. The aim of this fellowship is to provide a synoptical view of some of the substantive and content-driven connections between the research culture and practice of the Humanities and the debates about the new digital media and information technologies. More specifically the fellowship aims to link these debates to the civic mission of the university to train responsible, active and informed citizens. This theme also aims to compare notes on different and new concepts of ‘the Human’ and even ‘the posthuman’ drawn from as broad an interdisciplinary field as possible. This may lead to interrogate the relationship between the ‘two cultures’ of the Humanities and techno-sciences in the light of contemporary developments and new epistemologies. CFH welcomes application from the fields of history, literary theory, cultural studies, linguistics, computer science, media, philosophy, art and digital publishing.

for the call for Digital fellowship click here

This project takes place within the CfH research platform 'The Humanities in the 21st Century’,which aims at exploring the different facets of the social responsibility of the university in the twenty-first century and hence new interfaces between the Humanities and the social, natural and digital sciences. It also relates to the Descartes Centre’s work on the history and philosophy of Science.

The rise of the internet and with it, online communities, social networks and online publishing, has changed the way we gather information and the way we share it. It has significantly influenced the modes of being in the world, as well as changing academics modes of working, researching and publishing. This broad concern, together with the question how these digital developments have affected research in the Humanities, is the core of the Digital Humanities project. How can the digital Humanities fulfill its potential and transform Humanities scholarschip and education?

This fellowship should result in a synthesis report about current scholarship and teaching practice within the digital Humanities field. A selected and up to date bibliography of relevant sources will also be required to develop a mission statement for the digital humanities that will be presented during a joint CfH-Descartes workshop.

This Senior Digital Fellowship is available for three months and offers a stipend of € 2000 - € 2500 per month, depending on the seniority of the candidate.

Eligibility

We welcome applications from promising researchers with at least two years of teaching experience. Candidates are expected to hold a PhD degree or equivalent expertise in the Humanities, preferably in philosophy, media or cultural studies; to be knowledgeable about digital humanities; to speak and write fluently in English.

The Electronic Textual Cultures Laboratory (ETCL; http://etcl.uvic.ca) at the University of Victoria is seeking full-time and visiting postdoctoral fellows in Digital Textual Studies, working in areas that bridge computation, digital humanities, and textual studies.

Fellows will join our existing team of postdoctoral fellows, research assistants, research partners, and developers. Our team works on projects such as Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE; http://inke.ca), the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (http://dhsi.org), and beyond. Current ETCL team members pride themselves on a passionate interest in both the humanities and their digital engagement. Ideal candidates may come from a number of pertinent disciplinary backgrounds, but will share similar enthusiasm as well as be able to introduce the team to new ideas and new perspectives.

Successful candidates will have skills and aptitudes in humanities-oriented research, specifically textual studies, including training or demonstrated experience working with a variety of digital humanities resources such as digital archives, scholarly editions, journals and monographs, and text analysis and visualization tools. Organizational skills are essential. Interest and aptitude in research planning and management would be an asset. The ability to work in concert with our existing team is a critical requirement. Postdoctoral Fellowships (2012-13) include salary that is competitive in the Canadian context, governed in part by SSHRC practices. Positions are available as early as October 2012, for a one-year term with the possibility of renewal. Visiting Postdoctoral Fellowships (2012-) are available to those already holding external fellowships and positions in 2012-13 and 2013-14 with aligned programs of research, may be assumed for an academic term or longer, and include an honorarium.

Applications comprising a brief cover letter, CV, and the names and contact information for three referees may be sent electronically to Daniel Sondheim, ETCL Coordinator, at etcl /at/uvic/dot/ca.
