Mark Steinberg Weil Early Career Fellowship in Digital Humanities at
Washington University in St. Louis.
The Humanities Digital Workshop at Washington University in St. Louis
invites applications for /a three-year early-career fellowship in digital
humanities/, to begin July 1, 2012. We seek scholars with expertise in any
of a broad range of humanities topics and methods -- quantitative history,
network analysis, topic-modeling, statistical approaches to book history,
lexicography, computer-assisted stylistics, text-processing, or
human-computer interaction.The fellow’s research program should employ
analysis of digitized texts or data to extend or contest current
understandings of literary, political, social, or cultural history.
Candidates must have completed their doctorates after 2008, and must have
completed all requirements for the Ph.D. before July 1, 2012.
The Weil fellowship was established to foster the professional development
of gifted scholars and the further enrichment of the university’s vigorous
research environment. The HDW fellow is expected to pursue her or his own
research, but will also join the research team of one or more of the
projects currently supported by the HDW; the Fellow is expected to
participate in the intellectual life of the HDW as well as of other units
relevant to the Fellow’s research interests. Teaching responsibilities
include a course each Fall and Spring semester, as well as supervision of a
small number of students.Some courses may be centered in the Fellow’s
substantive discipline; others may straddle disciplines, but with a
methodological focus in digital scholarship. Fellows are expected to be in
residence during the entire fellowship period, apart from research-related
travel. Fellows will receive a salary of $60,000 per year, plus Washington
University postdoctoral benefits; and a $5,000 annual research/travel
stipend.
Applicants should submit a CV, graduate school transcript, two letters of
recommendation, a description of the proposed research project, a brief
account of the applicant’s involvement in digital humanities, and a
proposal for a seminar (introductory or advanced) in digital humanities.
