    *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/40756
