[Commlist] Post-Doc Researcher positions at Cambridge University

We have two Digital Humanities Post-Doc positions coming up at 
Cambridge. See below for details. Please circulate widely.

Cambridge Digital Humanities seeks to appoint two full time postdoctoral 
researchers in Digital Humanities. The posts will run for three years 
from Spring 2020.

The successful candidates will undertake a research project with support 
and mentoring from the CDH team. Applicants should demonstrate how their 
work intersects with, and develops, the expanded field of the Digital 
Humanities, DH methods, empirical work, critical theorization, and 
research focusing on key issues in digital transformation as it affects 
cultural forms and practices, societies, archival issues, and knowledge 
production and dissemination.

We will accept proposals for projects of all kinds. We particularly 
welcome proposals exploring the following areas:

§Computational Humanities

§DH and Decolonializing Agendas

§AI and DH

§Big Data and Algorithmic Justice

§Social Justice, Computational Bias, and DH Approaches

§Visual Culture

§Environmental Humanities

§Digital Musicology

§DH and New Media

CDH resources include developer support, programming assistance, library 
expertise, and subject-specific/discipline-specific research expertise 
across a range of fields. Applicants should indicate resources they 
would draw on at Cambridge to develop and deliver their project. They 
should demonstrate that their proposed project can be delivered within 
the three-year time scale of the post.

Applicants may have doctoral qualifications in Digital Humanities, but 
applications are also welcomed from postdoctoral researchers in cognate 
areas (e.g. including English, History, Digital Media/Film Studies, 
Linguistics, Computer Science, Sociology, Music, Philosophy, Modern 
Languages, Art History, Asian and Middle Eastern Studies). Applicants 
should demonstrate an engagement with DH issues, familiarity with DH 
methods, and an understanding of the changes in epistemic cultures 
digital transformation produces. High level technical skills are not 
necessarily required but may be part of the application. Applicants must 
hold, or have submitted, a PhD by the time of selection.

The successful candidate will be affiliated to CDH and may be invited 
join a faculty/department or research institute.

These fellowships are supported by the Issac Newton Trust whose generous 
support is acknowledged.
