[Commlist] University Lecturership in Digital Humanities

University Lecturer in Digital Humanities:

Cambridge Digital Humanities (CDH) is a thriving research centre 
reaching across the School of Arts and Humanities and School of 
Humanities and Social Sciences. We have strong associations with 
Cambridge's many museums and collections, work closely with the 
University Library, and have links to many other faculties and research 
centres. We are seeking a lecturer in Digital Humanities.

The successful applicant will convene the new CDH-led MPhil programme in 
Digital Humanities to be launched in September 2022 and will work with 
the CDH Director and Learning Director to further develop the programme 
as it expands into new areas. They will offer postgraduate teaching and 
supervision, and they will also take on doctoral students in CDH and the 
Faculty of English. The role is likely to involve UG teaching in future 
years as CDH develops. Primary responsibilities of the role will be to CDH.

We are seeking candidates with a wide range of expertise in Digital 
Humanities, which we conceive as an expansive and intrinsically 
inter-disciplinary field, that brings together research focussed around 
collections, platforms, digital methods, public cultures, digital 
aesthetics, cultural analytics, digital media studies, medium theory, 
and cultural critique.

The post will be based in the Faculty of English, and we welcome 
applications from candidates whose DH work directly engages with English 
literature or other media. However, we also welcome other DH specialisms 
including: cultural analysis, archival cultures, film and visual 
cultures, digital media studies, digital methods, AI and humanities 
research, activism and critical media, race, decolonization and 
epistemic change. The successful applicant will have a commitment to 
Digital Humanities as their interdisciplinary home, and through their 
research and teaching, they will make a substantial contribution to the 
range, scope and depth of the work at CDH.

Candidates should have a completed PhD and have an established or 
emerging record of exceptional research and publication in a relevant 
subject area. They will have teaching experience at both undergraduate 
and postgraduate levels. The successful applicant will support and 
maintain the University's national and international reputation for 
excellence in research.

The closing date is midnight (BST) on 22 August 2021 and Interviews are 
planned for 16/17 or 20/21 September 2021.
