The Humboldt Chair of Digital Humanities and Department of Computer
Science at the University of Leipzig is looking for candidates for two
possible collaborating research groups, one focused on reinventing
scholarly communication for Greek and Latin, as a case study for
historical languages in general, with the other helping the University
Library develop methods to manage and visualize billion of words and
associated annotations of many kinds. Details of the funding are being
finalized but positions will ideally start in May 2013 and with an
initial one year contract that could be extended to a second year that
could include one semester residence at a US university.

Candidates must have received their most recent degree no sooner than
January 4, 2011. Current degree candidates may also be considered. We
are building a team includes varied backgrounds, with team members
having expertise in Greek and Latin, in software analysis and
development, and in working with metadata models that are relatively
well established (TEI XML, Functional Requirements for Bibliographic
Records, CIDOC CRM) and that are just beginning to be exploited (e.g.,
the full potential of the Europeana Data Model). Project members should
be prepared to participate in all forms of intellectual life, including
research, both within the humanities and the information sciences, and
software development, supervising student researchers, delivering
presentations before specialist and general audiences, writing, and
participation in teaching activities.

Interested candidates should send a letter of interest, briefly
describing how they could contribute to one of these teams, a CV, and
the names of three references to dig-hum-jobs@e-humanities.net
