obtained excellent research results in the area of applying computer science
techniques in research applications in the digital humanities. For the
applied computer science techniques, examples could be data mining, or
archiving or disclosure of information from large e-archives, or
human-computer interaction, or visualisation techniques, or e-learning.
Concerning the applications domains, examples could be the Arts, or the
Social or Instructional Sciences. Research experience with the application
of multiple techniques from computer Science and/or with multiple
application domains in the Humanities or Behavioral Sciences are considered
are a strong added value of the application.
Teaching
The selected applicant will take on teaching responsibilities in various
study programs, in particular for courses on basic computer science
techniques for students in the humanities. Apart from this, the applicant
will also be asked to teach an advanced course on applications, related to
his/her research, in digital humanities. Possibly, the accepted applicant
can be asked to teach courses in the Master/Bachelor Computer Science and/or
the Master/Bachelor in (Applied) Informatics. Together with an existing
team, the successful applicant will further develop courses related to
digital humanities. The applicant needs to engage in setting up an
interdisciplinary cooperation, both in teaching and in research, on digital
humanities.

Interested candidates should hold a Ph.D. or doctoral degree in computer
science or informatics. or candidates should be holder of a Ph.D. in digital
humanities or in the humanities, with a topic which is very closely related
to computer science, informatics or the informatics-technical aspects of
digital humanities. In the latter case, an additional degree in a related
subject - especially in computer science or informatics - has significant
added value.
Qualified candidates are expected to have an excellent research record and
very good teaching and training skills, in order to contribute to the
research output of the Department of Computer Science and to the quality of
its educational programs. The high quality of the candidate's research
should be evidenced by publications in international peer-reviewed journals
and conferences. International research experience is highly appreciated. An
important criterion in the selection will be whether the candidate can link
his/her research to one of the research units in the Department of Computer
Science.
If you do not speak Dutch, you will be expected to learn the language within
three years of your appointment. The required proficiency level will depend
on the duties assigned to you. Dutch language courses are offered at KU
Leuven. Proficiency in the English language is also required.
