Job Opportunity: Postdoctoral Fellowship in Community Based Digital Humanities in the College of the Humanities and the Digital Humanities program at Carleton University

The College of the Humanities and the Digital Humanities program at Carleton University is accepting applications for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Community Based Digital Humanities. The anticipated start date will be May 1st 2024 with a duration of 24 months. The postdoctoral fellow will be involved in developing a new public-facing aspect of the DH program called ‘StudioDH’, in the context of their own research in community based DH: https://carleton.ca/dighum/community-dh-postdoc/

Department Background Information
The Collaborative MA in Digital Humanities at Carleton University, situated in the College of the Humanities, is one of the most comprehensive Digital Humanities programs in Canada. Students and faculty come from 14 participating programs in the Faculty of Arts, ranging from Public History to Cognitive Science. In this program we take the view that our role is to provide humanistic and artistic perspectives on digital culture. At the same time, we critically employ the tools of a variety of informatics and digital technologies on the key questions of the humanities. We use the process of building or making to help us think with – and through – the materials of our study. Currently we offer a Specialization in DH at the MA level and an undergraduate Minor in DH; soon we will also be able to offer a specialization in DH at the PhD level. For more about the program, see https://carleton.ca/dighum/.

Research Project Overview
StudioDH is initially envisioned as an annual public-focused, inside-out community-based research/art collective, where students will have the opportunity to work closely with public- and private-sector partners via a physical ‘pop-up’ style collaboratory or studio, set in the community and open to the public. These would be partners who rely heavily on digital media, including partners in art and entertainment, media production, library and archives, museum, digital gaming, travel and tourism, advertising and technical writing sectors. The successful candidate will take this idea and develop it within the context of the Ottawa region.

The first twelve months will focus on researching and planning how to implement the StudioDH model given the resources available at Carleton and in the community, building capacity for this model to be run into the future and given the applicant’s particular strengths and interests. The incumbent will also have the support of a Research Assistant. There may also be an opportunity for teaching a graduate-level DH course in the applicant’s discipline of interest. In the second twelve months, the applicant will lead the first cohort of MA students through the StudioDH model, putting on a public facing-event or series of events and will assess the success of the model.

Research Project Supervisor and Principal Investigator
The incumbent will work with the Coordinator of the DH Program and members of the DH Management Committee, principally Dr. Shawn Graham and Dr. Laura Banducci.

Salary
The postdoctoral fellow will be offered a salary of $CAD 60,000 per annum, with the additional ability to opt into an extended health and dental benefit plan. The postdoc will not be considered unionized.

Position Duties and Responsibilities
The incumbent of this position will, under the direction of Dr. Shawn Graham be responsible for leading the research activities of the project, including but not limited to the following core responsibilities:

  • develop and implement the StudioDH concept in the context of their understanding of community based DH
  • conduct community based DH work as appropriate in conjunction with the students in the program
  • report twice per year to the DH community at Carleton on the work

Job Requirements
The ideal candidate will have:

  • Experience and research in any aspect of DH type work, understood broadly
  • Experience or enthusiasm for public-facing work
  • Demonstrated teaching and/or supervising experience
  • A relevant PhD in hand awarded within the last ten years

Accommodations and Accessibility
Should you require a copy of this posting in an alternate format, please contact us as soon as possible and we would be happy to get one to you in a timely manner. We believe in the importance of supporting on the-job success for the incumbent and are pleased to discuss and/or provide specific tools, resources or other requirements for day-to-day work requirements, as needed.

We are searching for a 2-year postdoctoral scholar and teacher who works at the intersection of AI and the humanities, broadly defined. In addition to participating in the activities of the AIAI Network, the position involves teaching one course in the first year and two in the second. The position will be housed in the Emory Department of English, with affiliate status in the Department of Quantitative Theory & Methods.

The annual salary for the position is $73,000 with additional research funding of $5,000 per year. In addition to salary and research funding, standard Emory benefits will be provided, including healthcare and access to library and computing support.

Qualifications

We are open to a range of humanities disciplines, including but not limited to literary and cultural studies, media studies, digital humanities, history, American studies, African American studies, women’s, gender, and sexuality studies, urban studies, and science and technology studies. More broadly, we are interested in a scholar whose work brings culture, context, history and/or theory to bear on the current landscape of data and AI. Examples of this work might include: humanistic critiques of data/AI, literary (or more broadly humanistic) theorizations of data/AI, new genealogies of data/AI, and/or data/AI-driven approaches to literature/history/culture. As the position will be primarily housed in an English department, the scholar should be interested in conversations about how their work relates to the field of literary and/or cultural studies. In addition to courses centered on their research, the scholar should feel comfortable teaching introductory courses in the digital humanities, critical data/AI studies, and/or quantitative literary analysis.

Applicants must have earned their PhD prior to August 1, 2024.

UO Libraries seeks to fill a Winter 2024 Term GE position for LIB 350M/DSCI 350M Humanities Research Data Management, which is now a required elective for the Digital Humanities minor and Data Science Cultural Analytics program.

This course provides students with theoretical and practical experience in collecting, processing, archiving, and publishing humanities data (images, video, sound, text, maps, etc.) gathered from galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAMs). With the goal of building thematic digital collections as researchers, students learn digital methodologies focusing on the technical, legal, ethical, and social aspects of working with humanities research data throughout its curation lifecycle.

This includes hands-on experience finding, assessing, organizing, and reformatting data; creating and remediating descriptive metadata; evaluating and determining copyright and licensing; writing a data management plan using the standards set by the National Endowment for the Humanities, and sharing thematic research digital collections using GitHub and the opensource platform CollectionBuilder.

This job is a great opportunity for any GE looking to boost their digital research skills associated with digital humanities, cultural analytics, and public humanities scholarship. Job posting can be found on the Division of Graduate Studies website, due 10/20/23.
