Context, tasks and working conditions
The Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Neo-Latin Studies (LBI) is among the biggest research organisations dedicated exclusively to the study of early modern Latin worldwide. The ERC Advanced Grant programme NOSCEMUS is a five-year project funded by the European Union aiming at a reassessment of the role of Latin in early modern natural science. Both entities will work in close cooperation.
In this context, the main tasks of the information scientist will include the following:
* - establishment, development and management of a database for early modern authors, texts and secondary literature (including back-end and front-end)

The gross salary will be at least € 1365,50 per month (14 times).
Requirements
Candidates should have a MA in informatics / a MA in classics combined with extraordinary IT skills. A background in the humanities or a strong interest in this field is important since the main challenge of the work will consist in adapting electronic tools to the needs of projects from this area. For the same reason, a strong capacity for teamwork is required. Candidates must be fluent in English in word and writing.
Applications should be sent, together with a CV and a letter of motivation, by email to Martin Korenjak (martin.korenjak@uibk.ac.at<mailto:martin.korenjak@uibk.ac.at>).
