  4. What is Digital Humanities?

  5. DH Projects • Our Americas Archive Partnership: http://oaap.rice.edu • Public Secrets: http://vectors.usc.edu/issues/4/publicsecrets/ • Research blog from Digital Humanities Now: http://tedunderwood.com/2012/12/14/what-can-topic-models-of-pmla-teach-us-about-the-history-of-literary-scholarship/ • Hypercities: http://hypercities.ats.ucla.edu/#collections/14700

  6. The Job Market: Blended Faculty Positions • Georgia State University, a research institution in downtown Atlanta, invites applicants for an anticipated tenure-track Assistant Professor specializing in British Romantic Literature (particularly poetry) and Digital Humanities, to begin Fall 2013, pending budgetary approval. Requires Ph.D. by time of appointment, evidence of strong scholarly potential, excellent teaching, and commitment to service. Starting teaching load is 2/2 (graduate and undergraduate).

  7. The Job Market:DH Faculty Positions MIT Media Lab seeks candidates for tenure-track faculty positions The Media Lab is an antidisciplinary research organization focusing on the invention of new media technologies that radically improve the ways people live, learn, work, and play. Candidates should have a record of original thinking, a willingness to take risks, a desire to look beyond traditional disciplines, and a commitment to making a difference in the world. Successful candidates will be expected to: establish and lead their own research group within the Media Lab; pursue creative work of the highest international standard; engage in collaborative projects with industrial sponsors and other Media Lab research groups; supervise master's and doctoral students; and participate in the Media Arts and Sciences academic program.

  8. The Job Market:The Alt-Ac Track As the Humanities Design Architect of UVa Library’s department of Digital Research and Scholarship, you will be responsible for the design and implementation of effective and inspiring digital resources for teaching and scholarship. We are looking for someone who is highly technically skilled and a talented designer, and who has a deep background in humanities or social science scholarship. This general faculty position in the Scholars’ Lab is for a true “hybrid academic” — someone who can communicate effectively with humanities and social science scholars, help guide the work of graduate students in our digital humanities fellowship program, and focus intently on the presentation and interaction layer for next-generation digital scholarship. We seek a person who can fit into a fast-paced, interdisciplinary environment where good design truly matters. Because we collaborate as peers with UVa faculty and graduate students, we are looking for someone with a personal research agenda, who will take excellent advantage of the “20% time” all Scholars’ Lab faculty and staff are granted to pursue professional development and their own projects.
