[Note: This position has re-opened.]
The Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) project seeks a post-doctoral fellow in digital humanities with expertise in information management. This position is based in the Electronic Textual Cultures Lab at the University of Victoria. The successful candidate will work closely with team members at U Victoria, the Digital Humanities Observatory, U Toronto, U Montreal, Nipissing U, U Alberta, McMaster U, and beyond.
The postdoctoral fellow will work with production-focused and experimental corpora, datastores, and analytical technologies, collaborating with those associated with INKE's information management team and others, consulting with project stakeholders and potential stakeholders, and liaising with other INKE researchers located in North America and the UK.
The successful candidate will have skills and aptitudes in humanities-oriented research, corpora, datastores, and computational analysis tools, including training or demonstrated experience working with a variety of digital humanities resources, including digital archives, scholarly editions, journals and monographs, and text analysis and visualization tools. Organizational skills are essential. Interest and aptitude in research planning and management would be an asset. The ability to work in concert with our existing team is a critical requirement.
Examples of technologies employed in related INKE projects are as follows: TEI P5; XML, XSLT, XSL and XHTML encoding; XQuery; eXist XML databases; JavaScript; Ruby on Rails; PHP; CSS; and web-based SQL database projects using PostgresSQL and mySQL. Experience in some or all of these areas and similar areas would be an asset, but is not a requirement, though aptitude with digital tools is required.
Our current team members pride themselves on a passionate interest in both the humanities and their computational engagement. Our ideal candidate is someone with similar passions who can introduce the team to new ideas and provide new perspectives on existing digital humanities issues.
The salary for this position is competitive in the Canadian context, and is governed in part by SSHRC practices. Applications comprising a brief cover letter, CV, and the names and contact information for three referees may be sent electronically to etcl.apply@gmail.com . The contract can begin as early as fall 2009; it is for a one-year term, with the possibility of renewal.
Applications will be received and reviewed until the position is filled.
