“The College of Arts and Sciences at The Ohio State University invites nominations and applications for a tenured position in computational humanities, beginning autumn 2016. The designated rank is associate professor or professor; the departmental home is open. We conceive computational humanities broadly, as a field that uses computational methodologies to change or pursue research questions in the humanities, or creates human- and machine-readable databases to catalogue knowledge in the humanities. Research and teaching interests might include network theory and analysis, stylistic analysis, text mining, visualization and mapping, technologies of reading, or computational literary criticism. This position is partially funded by Ohio State’s Discovery Themes, a significant faculty hiring investment in key thematic areas in which the university can build on its culture of academic collaboration to make a global impact.
Review of applications will begin on January 15, 2016 and will continue until the position is filled.
Qualifications: Applicants are expected to have a Ph.D. and to present evidence of excellence in teaching and research. Preference will be given to candidates with a strong record of cross-disciplinary collaboration. Appointment is contingent on the university’s verification of credentials and other information required by law and/or university policies, including but not limited to a criminal background check.
Application Materials Required:
- Cover Letter
- Curriculum Vitae
- Three References (no actual letters, just names and email addresses)
- Anything else requested in the position description
