The College of Arts and Sciences at The Ohio State University invites nominations and applications for a tenured position in computational humanities, beginning autumn 2016.

Research and teaching interests might include network theory and analysis, stylistic analysis, text mining, visualization and mapping, technologies of reading, or computational literary criticism. This position is partially funded by Ohio State’s Discovery Themes, a significant faculty hiring investment in key thematic areas in which the university can build on its culture of academic collaboration to make a global impact https://discovery.osu.edu/focus-areas/data-analytics/.

Preference will be given to candidates with a strong record of cross-disciplinary collaboration.
