Open Rank Assistant/Associate Professor in Digital Humanities
Position Vacancy Number: 00002010
North Carolina State University
College of Humanities and Social Sciences
The Department of English at North Carolina State University seeks to make
an Assistant/Associate tenure-track appointment in Digital Humanities. The
successful candidate will have the opportunity to help build the digital
humanities curriculum in undergraduate and graduate programs in English and
in the interdisciplinary doctoral program in Communication, Rhetoric, and
Digital Media, and to develop NC State’s digital humanities presence
across campus, in the technology-rich Research Triangle area, and with
industry and foundation partners.
The candidate will join a department with an established track record of
digital scholarship in fields including digital archives, virtual
environments, textual editing and criticism, physical computing, and
linguistics. In recent years, faculty have received funding in all of these
areas from a number of public and private agencies. Our digital humanities
initiatives are strongly supported by NC State’s College of Humanities and
Social Sciences and by the NC State Libraries, which are nationally known
for their excellence in providing innovative research support and data
curation.
NC State University has special strengths in computer science and digital
technology and is located in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill Research
Triangle area, nationally recognized as a vibrant center for research and
creativity. The James B. Hunt Library, opening this spring on our Centennial
Campus, is being built from the ground up as a national model for the
integration of technology, scholarship, and information storage, retrieval,
and display. The newly formed Research Triangle Digital Humanities
Collaborative, a collaboration between NC State, the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke University, and the National Humanities
Center, offers further opportunities for research and curricular
initiatives.
Position Description: Duties include teaching graduate and undergraduate
courses (2-2 base teaching load) as well as maintaining an active research
and publication program and participating in professional and university
service. There will be opportunities for leadership and program
administration (with corresponding reductions in teaching load). We
particularly welcome candidates whose research and teaching interests can
help us develop one or more areas of existing strength within our
department: creative writing, film, linguistics, literature, and rhetoric.
Qualifications: Required -- Ph.D. in English or related field, area open;
track record of excellence in digital scholarship appropriate for rank.
Preferred -- a history of successful grant funding in the digital
humanities.
