The Records of Early English Drama (<reed.utoronto.ca/>), an international
humanities research project focusing on medieval and early modern
performance studies that is based at the University of Toronto, invites
applications for a post-doctoral digital humanities fellowship for up to two
years. The successful candidate will participate in REED’s development
of a dynamic collection of freely available digital resources for research
and education. REED is a longstanding research and editorial project, with
partnership for maintenance and sustainability of its digital resources at
the University of Toronto Libraries. REED is overseen by an international
Executive Board, with a Digital Advisory Committee guiding its digital
initiatives.
The Digital Humanities Fellow will be expected to join the project on site
at the University of Toronto and will work closely there with the general
editor, editorial staff, developers, and research assistants. Members of the
REED Digital Advisory Committee will also provide support and mentorship for
the postdoctoral fellow, who will be key to the development of a new digital
editing and publication environment for REED'™s forthcoming collections.
The Digital Humanities Fellow will engage in the development of REED'™s new
digital production environment, including the editing and encoding of TEI
XML documents, new strategies for glossing medieval and early modern
records, and, in consultation with others on the editorial team, developing
the terms for online indexing of REED collections to be linked with other
databases.
The successful candidate will demonstrate skills and aptitudes in early
modern research, textual studies, and scholarly editing in digital
humanities contexts. Advanced competency in TEI-compliant XML (P5) and some
XSLT 2.0 experience is required. Engagement in open source development,
digital scholarship frameworks and open access scholarship is essential. In
addition, he or she should possess strong organizational skills and the
desire to learn and pursue research in an interdisciplinary, collaborative
environment.
The successful applicant will be encouraged to pursue his or her own
research while at U of T, while receiving training and career development
opportunities through REED’s international network.
Salary for this position is competitive in the Canadian context.
Applicants must have completed their PhD within five years of the beginning
of the fellowship. Applicants who will defend their thesis before 1 July
2015 are eligible, but a letter from their supervisor or Chair may be
requested. Any award will be conditional on a successful defense. Applicants
who received their PhD prior to 1 July 2010 are ineligible.
The University of Toronto is strongly committed to diversity within its
community and especially welcomes applications from visible minority group
members, women, Aboriginal persons, persons with disabilities, members of
sexual minority groups, and others who may further expand the range of ideas
and perspectives.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and
permanent residents will be given priority.
Applications, comprising a brief cover letter, CV, and the names and contact
information for three referees, may be sent electronically to the general
editor, Sally-Beth MacLean, at <s.maclean@utoronto.ca>. Applications will be
received and reviewed until the position is filled; the position can begin
as early as April 2015. All applications received will be acknowledged.
