The Department of Linguistics and Literary Studies of Technische
Universität Darmstadt seeks to fill the following vacancies
2 Professorships (W3 and W2)
in Digital Philologies
In the past ten years, the Department has established the Digital
Humanities with foci in English Corpus and Computational Linguistics as
well as German Computer Philology. Throughout this period, the
Department has consolidated its position in the digital humanities
through internationally networked research activities and the
installation of a bilingual Master of Arts program Linguistic and
Literary Computing. The specific profile of Digital Humanities as
Digital Philologies is going receive further impetus by the installation
of a cluster of three professorships representing this discipline.

Education German, Lehramt an Gymnasien Deutsch). They should furthermore
take responsibility for the introduction of a Bachelor of Arts program
