Professor in Cultural Data Analytics.

Tenure: The position will be tenured.  All details about the application 
process and what documents are needed can be found here: 
https://www.tlu.ee/en/professor-cultural-data-analytics

Position includes excellent remuneration package; secured substantial 
research funds for the first 4 years; the possibility to create own 
research team and an Open Lab, cooperation networks with several 
external cultural and media institutions, strong institutional support 
from the university.
Profile of the candidate

TLU has won a grant for this position from the European Commission’s 
Horizon 2020 ERA Chair programme. The programme supports universities in 
their efforts to build on their reputation as leaders in research and 
innovation. The programme awards top researchers and their teams EUR 2.5 
million over five years to establish ambitious research programmes. 
Estonian Research Council is expected to top it up with additional 200 
000 euros from its Mobilitas scheme. After the CUDAN project ends and 
the position gets tenured TLU will support the Chair by its own means.
TLU has used the grant to establish a new professorship in Cultural Data 
Analytics (CUDAN) together with the new research team that consists of 
5-7 senior researchers and at least 5 PhD students. The team will also 
run CUDAN Open Lab - an actual space and a cooperation platform for 
collaborating with external cultural and media institutions. See more 
about the whole CUDAN project here: http://cudan.tlu.ee

The candidate for the professorship is expected to have experience of 
managing research projects and/or teams in digital humanities/digital 
culture studies and with spearheading open stakeholder collaborations.
CUDAN ERA Chair will interconnect three TLU Schools - Baltic Film, 
Media, Arts and Communication School (BFM), School of Humanities (SH) 
and School of Digital Technologies (DTI). The ERA Chair holder will be 
hired as a professor at BFM.

The applicant has to have a PhD degree in digital humanities, digital 
culture studies or in data analytics and at least 5 years of experience 
in managing research teams and/or planning and implementing research and 
innovation projects.

More specifically the following experience is required:

	• Strong academic background and international reputation in digital 
humanities/digital culture studies; 	• Publications in international 
peer reviewed journals; 	• Supervision of PhD students; 	• Experience in 
formulating and managing research teams; 	• Experience in planning new 
research projects; 	• Experience in coordination of or participation in 
international research projects (e.g. Framework Programme, Horizon 
2020); 	• Collaboration with non-academic stakeholders.
The ERA Chair holder will need to reside permanently in Estonia and sign 
an employment contract with TLU.
The salary of the ERA Chair professor will be negotiable, but will be 
based on the existing experience and seniority of the candidates and 
equate broadly with professor salaries in Western European countries. 
Yet, employment in Estonia could be more beneficial due to low income 
tax rates (approximately 21% for this position).

TLU offers modern ergonomic working conditions and flexible schedules in 
a brand new campus located in the city centre. TLU employees enjoy 
numerous benefits in areas such recreation, health care, child care, 
employee training, etc. TLU allows for its professors extensive paid 
vacation - 65 days each year. TLU will help the newly expected professor 
and her/his family with the move to Estonia, relocation allowance can be 
negotiated.

Deadlines: The application process opened June 22nd 2019 and ends August 
12th. A decision will be made in the Autumn of 2019. All the details 
about the process and what documents are needed can be found here:
