The CHS seeks two interns to work for eight weeks in Washington, DC on the
Free First Thousand Years of Greek
http://www.dh.uni-leipzig.de/wo/projects/open-greek-and-latin-project , a
self-standing subset of theOpen Greek and Latin Project
http://www.dh.uni-leipzig.de/wo/projects/open-greek-and-latin-project/ .
Interns will work primarily with XML files, editing them to meet the
project's standards, and uploading the corrections to a GitHub repository.
Additional tasks will include correcting OCRed texts, as well as
contributing to other digital humanities projects as they arise.
No prior technical skills are needed. Instruction will be provided on site.
The work schedule is relatively flexible and provides ample opportunity to
explore the metro DC area. Interns will have access to the CHS library and
will have ample opportunities to engage with the scholarly community at the
CHS.
Interns will reside on the CHS campus from June 1-July 31. During that time,
they will work approximately 20 hours per week, at an hourly rate of $12.00.
The CHS will provide housing on campus; the units are fully furnished and
equipped with necessary household items such as eating utensils, cookware,
and linens. The CHS will also provide MacBooks with necessary software
installed for interns to use during their time at the CHS.
Interns will be responsible for the costs of transportation to and from
Washington, DC, meals (excluding lunch on weekdays), and incidentals.
