Experienced Researcher
“Canonical reference & sustainability of digital editions”
(40 hours/week; fixed-term employment for the period of 12 months, starting
1 April 2016)
The Centre for Information Modeling – Austrian Centre for Digital
Humanities at the University of Graz has rich experience in DH research and
teaching and is involved in a variety of (inter)national projects. The main
research area of the ZIM-ACDH is digital edition as a generalizable method
of semantic and formal enrichment and analysis of research data from the
humanities and cultural heritage domains.
* Job Specifications*
- The research fellow will do supervised research on “Canonical
reference & sustainability of digital editions” in the Marie Curie Initial
Training Network “DiXiT”.
- It is crucial that digital scholarly editions are stable reference
texts that embed in themselves established canonical reference systems and
persistent identifiers (PIDs). The relationship between well-established
reference systems and technical PID systems will be explored in order to
contribute to a common resolving infrastructure.
- The candidate will conduct theoretical research on canonical reference
and human naming systems and their inherent logics, develop a proposal for
a generic referencing system for digital editions and implement this system
in the Graz FEDORA-Commons-Infrastructure GAMS (
http://gams.uni-graz.at/doku) as a proof of concept.
* Professional Qualifications*
- Relevant doctoral university degree (or research experience of at
least four years), preferably in the Humanities.
- Prior experience with scholarly editing and canonical reference
systems.
- Ability to present the subject in English (spoken and written).
- High level of commitment and motivation for scientific work and
international collaboration.
