Assistant Professor "Digital Research Corpora in the Humanities"

With support from a generous financial endowment by the "Duurzame Geesteswetenschappen" (Sustainable Humanities Project), the Faculty of Humanities is able to employ a new generation of scholars. This position is one of them.

The position is full-time (38 hours per week), for a candidate interested in the development and application of digital methods in the humanities. Digital research corpora of literature, art, music and language are changing the humanities in a spectacular way, leading to new questions that seemed unanswerable until very recently. The Digital Humanities or 'e-Humanities' transcend the individual humanities disciplines, and you will need to be at home in more than one discipline.

Vacancy number W11-137. Applications should be sent before 1 september 2011. For more information, see http://www.hum.uva.nl/vacatures/vacatures.cfm/
