Assistant Professorship in Digital Humanities (tenure-track)
University of South Carolina
[I have been asked by Professor Michael Gavin, Department of English,
to circulate the following job advert. He advises me that the net is being cast
as widely as possible and that "the search might be even more open than
the final wording of the ad suggests. We're just looking for the best, most
exciting work out there."
Older members of this community may recall the leading work done at
South Carolina by Robert Oakman (English and Computer Science) many
years ago, including the International Conference on Computers and the
Humanities in 1987, at which the beginnings of Humanist were conceived.
