New Media Lab

THE NEW MEDIA LAB (NML) assists City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate Center faculty and doctoral students from a variety of academic disciplines to create multimedia projects based on their own scholarly research. Our goal is to integrate new media into traditional academic practice, challenging scholars to develop fresh questions in their respective fields using the tools of new technology. The NML is committed to a vision of new technology based on open access to ideas, tools, and resources.

With ongoing support from CUNY, the New Media Lab has become a dynamic environment in which projects funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Old York Library Foundation, and other private and public sources demonstrate new approaches and methods of merging digital media, scholarship, and learning.

Located in room 7388.01 at the CUNY Graduate Center and run under the auspices of the Center for Media and Learning / American Social History Project, NML researchers:

work across academic disciplines to produce scholarly digital media projects;

analyze Internet usage in the educational, social, and commercial sectors;

construct 3-D environments that explore ways of visualizing the arts, humanities, and sciences

digitally archive and analyze a wide range of data
participate in public programs that address the critical intersection of knowledge and technology

    TWO Postdoctoral Fellowships in Community Data (2022-24)
    University of Toronto, Critical Digital Humanities Initiative (CDHI)
    Deadline: March 1, 2022

    Created in collaboration with the iSchool, UTSC, and the Council on Library & Information Resources (CLIR), the CDHI Postdoctoral Fellowship Program in Community Data will support two interdisciplinary postdoctoral fellows for two academic years, 2022-24. One fellow will be affiliated with the University of Toronto Faculty of Information (iSchool). One fellow will be affiliated with University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC). We hope you will help us spread the word about this exciting new opportunity among your networks. In the context of this fellowship program, we define community data broadly to include projects that enact equitable, future-focused strategies of preserving data related to the histories of people of colour, Indigenous peoples, and queer, disabled, or other communities whose work, experiences, and perspectives have been insufficiently recognized or inequitably attended to in historical records.

    The fellowships are full-time, two-year positions. Fellows will receive a salary of $70,000/year (CAN), which includes teaching one undergraduate half course (0.5 FCE) for the iSchool or UTSC in each of the two years. Applications are open now and close on 01 March 2022. 

    For a complete job description of each position, including fellowship responsibilities and expectations, mentorship and professional development opportunities, eligibility, and application instructions, please visit:

    We are thrilled to continue building the network of critical and creative digital humanities research at U of T. Please do not hesitate to reach out to the CDHI Managing Director, Dr. Danielle Taschereau Mamers (d.taschereau@utoronto.ca), with any enquiries.
