[ecrea] Mellon-funded post-doc at Lehigh University

===============

Apologies for cross-postings.

Lehigh University seeks applications for a two-year Mellon Postdoctoral 
Research Scholar in digital humanities and community engagement 
beginning August 2015. The annual salary is $50,000 with full benefits.

We seek a postdoctoral scholar well-versed in digital media, methods and 
technologies, with scholarly interest in one or more of the following 
areas: documentary studies (film or other), community engagement, urban 
studies and social justice. The scholar will pursue digital humanities 
scholarship, teach one undergraduate course each semester, contribute to 
workshops in partnership with the Center for Innovation in Teaching and 
Learning, and work one-on-one to help faculty integrate digital media 
into their courses.

The goal is to drive expansion of an undergraduate humanities curriculum 
that engages the local community, equips more faculty with enhanced 
skill sets in digital humanities forms, amplifies undergraduate 
humanities research, and leads to the development of an 
interdisciplinary undergraduate minor in documentary studies.

The position is open to candidates with a Ph.D. received between August 
2012 and August 2015. We seek scholars from a wide range of humanities 
disciplines as well as the humanistic social sciences. Please submit a 
cover letter, vita, dissertation abstract, project description, and 
contact information for three academic references who will be prompted 
via email to submit letters electronically. The deadline for receipt of 
all materials is March 15, 2015. Please apply at 
https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/5320. Inquiries should be 
directed to Professor Ed Whitley: (edw204 /at/ lehigh.edu)
