Digital Humanities Initiative

The CUNY Digital Humanities Initiative (CUNY DHI), launched in Fall 2010, aims to build connections and community among those at CUNY who are applying digital technologies to scholarship and pedagogy in the humanities. All are welcome: faculty, students, and technologists, experienced practitioners and beginning DHers, enthusiasts and skeptics.

We meet regularly on- and offline to explore key topics in the Digital Humanities, and share our work, questions, and concerns. See our blog for more information on upcoming events (it’s also where we present our group’s work to a wider audience). Help edit the CUNY Digital Humanities Resource Guide, our first group project. And, of course, join the conversation on the Forum.

    From Dan Tracy via the DH Slack:

    “Hi all – The University Library at the University of Illinois
    Urbana-Champaign is looking for a new Research Data Librarian, working with
    our great Research Data Services team! This is a brand new tenure track
    faculty position, demonstrating our campus and library’s commitment to
    sustaining our RDS program. It will be a fantastic opportunity for anyone
    who is dedicated to data management and sharing services and has an
    interest in developing (or continuing!) a strong research agenda. Please
    share with anyone you think would be interested!”

    Position Description:

    The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign seeks an innovative,
    collaborative, research-savvy, and service-oriented professional to join
    the Research Data Service (RDS) headquartered at the University Library.
    Reporting to the Director of the RDS, the candidate will advance the
    program (http://researchdataservice.illinois.edu) by directly partnering
    with researchers and units to provide support for managing, curating,
    publishing, and archiving research data. In this newly established faculty
    position, the candidate will contribute substantially to unit planning and
    direction and will be directly responsible for leading and overseeing
    development, execution, and assessment of all engagement and educational
    components of the service. This position is an ideal opportunity for an
    individual who finds helping others highly rewarding, has broad
    disciplinary interests in research, and is a skilled and effective
    communicator and instructor. The success of the RDS relies on a strong team
    approach, but a candidate must be able to learn independently and quickly
    adjust to different research cultures in order to understand and address
    data management and sharing needs across disciplines. Further, the
    individual in this role must be invested in tracking and translating
    evolving data management practices and policies across multiple
    organizations, including the Urbana-Champaign campus, federal funding
    agencies, academic publishers, and others.
