The Faculty of Humanities is looking to recruit a highly motivated individual with an established international reputation and active research programme in the digital humanities. Applicants must demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of statistics, data science and machine learning and must have a research background in one of the academic disciplines within the Faculty of Humanities. We expect the successful candidate to actively collaborate with colleagues in the other departments in the faculty and to work with them to develop interdisciplinary research projects. The professorship is a central element within the proposed Centre for Digital Humanities, which is currently in its planning phase. The person appointed to this position will have primary responsibility for the new BA-level subsidiary subject Digital Humanities, which will be offered for the first time in the winter semester of 2024/2025. This will later be supplemented by a BA-level main subject, with postgraduate level content possibly being introduced at some future time. The faculty expects the successful candidate to play an active role in preparing proposals for collaborative research projects.
