*Five College Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Digital Humanities and Blended
Learning*The Five College Consortium, with generous support from the Andrew W.
Mellon Foundation, invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship in
Digital Humanities and Blended Learning beginning in the academic year
2017-18. The term of the fellowship is for one year with possibility of
renewal for a second year. The position will be based at one of the
consortium’s (http://www.fivecolleges.edu/)associated institutions
(Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke, and Smith colleges and the University
of Massachusetts Amherst). The fellow will be paired with research and
teaching mentors in closely related fields and will be an active
participant in ongoing projects engaging faculty members across the
campuses who are bringing digital approaches and materials to bear on
teaching and student research in the humanities or humanistic social
sciences through blended approaches. A home campus and department(s) will
be assigned based on the fellow’s field and focus.We seek candidates whose research and teaching in a humanistic discipline
centers on theoretical, methodological, and technical encounters with
digital technologies, while also demonstrating commitment to meeting the
equity and inclusion challenges and opportunities attached to the
implementation of digital humanities technologies. We seek candidates who
have working familiarity with at least two of the following:· geographic information systems;
· hardware or software used for spatial humanities work, including
VR/AR;· humanities data visualization, or narrative or arts approaches to
working with computational data, including social media data;· video game studies;
· feminist or intersectional approaches to computing;
· text-mining or other modes of computational approaches to
interpretation;· developing and implementing minimal computing pathways;
· hardware / software studies; and
· new or experimental modes of presenting humanities work in
electronic formats, including digital storytelling and game design.In addition to pursuing an independent research program, the successful
candidate will teach two undergraduate courses each year, one of which is a
new blended course (utilizing both in class and online components). The
course, planned for development through next year, will meet needs for an
introductory class in digital humanities methodologies.This postdoctoral fellowship is a full-time academic year salaried
appointment ($55,000) with excellent benefits and $5,000 in research and
travel support. It is open only to recent Ph.D. recipients, those who have
completed all requirements for the Ph.D. before September 2017 (preference
will be given to those completing by May 2017) and no earlier than April
2014.Review of applications will begin March 15, 2017, and continue until the
position is filled. To apply, go tohttps://apply.interfolio.com/40756Applicants can learn more about the Five College programs in Digital
