Middlebury College invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Digital Liberal Arts, beginning July 1, 2014. This 12-month position is available for one year, with a second year contingent on funding. We welcome candidates who hold, or will hold by June 2014, a PhD in any discipline relevant to the Digital Humanities.

The Postdoctoral Fellow is a key position in a new initiative in the Digital Liberal Arts at Middlebury College. We are looking for a creative and technically skilled person to promote the use of digital technologies and resources for humanities research, teaching, and intellectual engagement. This will take the form of four connected activities: building awareness, building capacity, project support, and connecting with the larger community of Digital Humanities scholarship. The ideal candidate will have working familiarity with a variety of digital methods, extensive experience with collaborative digital scholarship, a proven record of teaching at the college or university level, and broad awareness of issues at the intersection of digital scholarship and pedagogy.  The Fellow will work closely with a team of faculty, library staff, and research and curricular technologists to help develop and support the College’s vision for incorporating digital technologies in innovative, collaborative research. While the focus of the DLA initiative is to promote collaborative projects in the humanities, the Postdoctoral Fellow will also be involved in exploring the potential for cross-fertilization across the boundaries of the humanities, social sciences, and physical and natural sciences. We particularly seek candidates with expertise in textual technologies such as text mining, text encoding, topic modelling, digital indexing, and digital publication.

Review of applications will begin April 1, 2014 and will continue until the position is filled. Details can be found at https://apply.interfolio.com/24466
