DH ACADEMIC ADMINISTRATOR, UCLA

DIGITAL HUMANITIES ACADEMIC ADMINISTRATOR, UCLA

Reporting to the Chair of the Digital Humanities Program, the Digital Humanities Academic Administrator is part of the core faculty of the Digital Humanities program and is responsible for developing new courses and teaching in the Digital Humanities program, advising undergraduate and graduate students, and overseeing a variety of student development initiatives. The Academic Administrator will work closely with the Digital Humanities Chair and affiliated faculty to schedule and plan course offerings, place students in mentorships and/or apprenticeships, recruit and advise students, and collaborate with the Library, Centers, and Institutes at UCLA. The Academic Administrator will also teach one digital humanities course per quarter (such as an introductory methods course, an advanced DH content course, an undergraduate or graduate capstone, a mentorship course, or other digital humanities class, which may comprise project management oversight rather than traditionally-defined teaching duties). This position provides a unique opportunity for autonomy and latitude amidst a community of faculty and staff who are committed to helping this person to succeed. We encourage the person in this position to develop his or her research agenda, and we allocate 20% of work time for that purpose.

Application deadline: October 1
