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.

    About you

    DIS wishes to appoint an innovative researcher to a full-time lectureship in Cultural Analytics & Knowledge Systems, beginning May 2025.  We are particularly interested in applicants who could contribute to ongoing and new humanities research that advances knowledge on working with cultural or literary collections at scale, with expertise in one or more of the following areas: corpus linguistics, stylometry, network analysis, image to text analysis, information extraction, or similar approaches of relevance to textual analysis or cultural/heritage collections. The purpose of the research should be to contribute new interdisciplinary knowledge of relevance to broader humanities and social science disciplines. The candidate will have strong technical and cultural literacy skills, experience working with corpora and collections, and a solid understanding of both metadata, knowledge organisation and relevant ethical and theoretical issues surrounding each. The research focus is open to any period, region, or language, but teaching will require the use of English language texts. The candidate should be capable of translating this knowledge into innovative teaching that inspires our students.

    The post holder must be able to demonstrate comprehensive interdisciplinary knowledge of textual analysis and knowledge organisation in humanities and social sciences contexts and must have both technical knowledge and humanities research expertise. The appointment is a full-time, open ended role beginning 1 May 2025.’

    The closing date is 19th December 2024, and interviews will be scheduled for 23rd January 2025.
