The University of Southern California Digital Humanities Program seeks applications for a two-year Mellon Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. The program aims to provide training for scholars from a wide range of humanities disciplines in emerging digital technologies, including digital publication of scholarly research, while still preserving the essential integrity of the humanities as an intellectual field of inquiry.
Fellows will have the opportunity to participate in activities in various Cinematic Arts research labs, and they will gain in-depth knowledge of the Alliance for Networking Visual Culture and Scalar. Fellows will be affiliated with one of the humanities centers or institutes at USC, including, but not limited to the Shoah Foundation Institute, the Visual Studies Research Institute, the USC-Huntington Early Modern Studies Institute, the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West, the Brain and Creativity Institute, and the USC Shinso Ito Center for Japanese Religions and Cultures.
Fellows will have the opportunity to present their work in panels at the annual public symposia on how their immersion in digital humanities techniques has shaped their research, writing, and presentation of evidence. Each fellow will teach three courses over two academic years.
The deadline for the receipt of all materials is January 31, 2017
