Digital Humanities Postdoctoral Fellowship

Trinity University, San Antonio, TX invites applications for a two-year
postdoctoral fellowship to join an accomplished team of faculty librarians
and a budding community of DH scholars. Under the auspices of the Council
on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) Postdoctoral Fellowship in
Academic Libraries, the Fellow’s work is part of a major initiative,
supported by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, to define and
implement a liberal arts college model for digital scholarship and teaching
in the arts and humanities. Further, Trinity is in the process of
implementing a new curriculum, which includes a “digital literacy”
component required of all students. Our goal is to have digital literacy
developed across the curriculum, including disciplines that are still
growing their definitions of digital scholarship, learning, and teaching.
Undergraduate research is also an emphasis at Trinity, and this position
will have the opportunity to work closely with talented, research-oriented
undergraduates.

Responsibilities of the Fellow will include:

● working with the Mellon Initiative and Library faculty to formulate
policies, manage projects, identify content and develop training to support
an expanded and sustainable DH program

● investigating and evaluating emerging tools and technologies related
to DH research

● holding individual and group DH research training and informational
sessions for faculty, staff, and students

● helping individual faculty members to develop and implement digital
projects

● assisting faculty members with the integration of DH methodologies
into existing and/or new academic courses.

● continuing his or her own DH research; participating in the
undergraduate research programs at Trinity

● possibly teaching one class per semester

The Fellow will collaborate with librarians and with the faculty steering
committee of the Mellon Initiative in allocating time and expertise to
projects.

*Qualifications:*

*Required:*

● Applicants must have received a Ph.D. in a humanistic discipline
after January 1, 2010, but before beginning the fellowship in July 2015.

● Experience in the use and application of one or more DH
methodologies (e.g., visualization, text-mining, text-encoding, GIS,
network analysis, database design, digital editions) for creating and
transmitting scholarship.

● Ability to work in interdisciplinary humanities environments.

● Demonstrated ability to articulate the opportunities of digital
research to scholars in the humanities.

● Excellent oral and written communication skills.

● Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team
environment.

*Preferred:*

● Demonstrated digital project management experience.

● Knowledge of open scholarship trends, resources, and applications.

● Programming experience.

● Teaching experience at the undergraduate level.

*Appointment Details:*

This is a two-year full-time position with benefits, including vacation
days, sick leave, and health insurance. The successful candidate must
attend a one- to two-week introductory seminar in July/August 2015. To
assist with the Fellow’s professional development, the Fellow will have the
opportunity to participate in the College’s new faculty orientation and
mentoring programs. Annual salary commensurate with other postdoctoral
appointments. In addition, the Fellow will receive a research and travel
fund.
