Project manager at DIGHUMLAB - Denmark

The research infrastructure DIGHUMLAB is seeking a visionary, dynamic and competent project manager to spearhead the structuring of the national research infrastructure DIGHUMLAB.

In 2010-2011, the Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation (Forsknings- og Innovationsstyrelsen) developed a national roadmap for research infrastructures in Denmark in collaboration with research and teaching institutions. The Minister chose to prioritise six research infrastructures that will be launched in the coming period, including the research infrastructure DIGHUMLAB, which is expected to be established by 1 January 2012. More information about the national roadmap for research infrastructure can be found at: http://en.fi.dk/publications/2011/danish-roadmap-for-research-infrastructure-2011.

The research infrastructure DIGHUMLAB will support digital humanistic and social science research and act as the unifying, virtual gateway to relevant digital and digitalized resources for the humanities and social sciences. DIGHUMLAB will furthermore participate in international networks of humanistic research infrastructure and Digital Humanities projects (see e.g. the Digital Humanities Observatory, Dublin ( www.dho.ie ) or DANS Project, NL ( www.dans.knaw.nl/en )).

A steering committee for DIGHUMLAB that includes the deans of the affiliated universities has been established. Currently Aarhus University, Aalborg University, the University of Copenhagen and the University of Southern Denmark are members of the steering committee. Aarhus University has been designated as the host institution for DIGHUMLAB.
