The Lewis & Ruth Sherman Centre for Digital Scholarship, located in
Mills Memorial Library at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario,
invites candidates to apply for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship.
Please find more information below and share it with your networks.
The posting closes on March 21, 2023.
Job Summary
Founded in 2012, the Sherman Centre is an incubator and catalyst of
digital scholarship (DS) and digital humanities (DH) activity at
McMaster University. A critical need that has become apparent in the
Centre's work is the inclusion of critical data and data justice
competencies training. From the vantage point of the Sherman Centre, we
see a clear opportunity to increasingly introduce undergraduate and
graduate students, faculty and staff, and members of broader
communities to critical considerations of data-driven approaches and
outcomes while improving their general data fluency.
Working under the direction of the Academic and Administrative
Directors of the Sherman Centre, the postdoctoral fellow will support
the general outreach and curricular activities of the Sherman Centre,
with a specific focus on critical and intersectional approaches to data
security, privacy and surveillance. The research program undertaken by
the postdoctoral fellow will result in knowledge development and
dissemination as well as resource creation and training in these areas
for undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff, and members
of broader communities.
In alignment with their own DS/DH research agenda, the postdoctoral
fellow will, in close collaboration with other Sherman Centre staff:
* offer training and support for general and selected specific tools
and techniques that support data security and digital privacy
broadly
* assess faculty and graduate student needs, and goals with relation
to research data security, privacy and management
* offer consultation to faculty and graduate students to enable them
to begin including critical data and data justice competencies in
their teaching and research
* support the further development of workshops, talks, and events at
the Sherman Centre
* prepare and deliver an undergraduate digital scholarship
introductory course annually, and
* connect and engage with other data justice, digital scholarship,
and digital humanities initiatives in the region and beyond.
Beyond these responsibilities, the postdoc will participate actively in
the life and activities of the Sherman Centre and represent it at key
DS/DH events, such as the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI)
and the annual Digital Humanities conference at the institution's
expense.
Details
* Term: August 1, 2023 – July 31, 2025
* Supervisor: Dr. Andrea Zeffiro
* Renumeration: $55,000 CAD per year

Subject: Jobs Klaxon: 2 more DH positions at Exeter
Dear all
In addition to last week’s announcement for a DH Research Fellow, the University
of Exeter’s DH Lab are also seeking two new Research Fellows in Digital Skills
Development as part of the AHRC-funded project Hot Source! Targeted Digital
Skills Development, from Artefact to Analytics. These positions will be
instrumental in establishing a Digital Skills Training Centre as part of the
AHRC Infrastructure for Digital Arts and Humanities (iDAH). More details are
available at:
https://jobs.exeter.ac.uk
(search for ref. P86371)
The DH Research Fellow position (ref. R55843) previously advertised can also be
found at the University job pages. Please note that applications for this role
must be made separately as it entails a different set of responsibilities.
Shortlistings and interviews will take place in quick succession so that
candidates can be considered for both types of position.
If you have any queries about the nature of these posts, or what it’s like to
live and work at Exeter, please feel to get in touch to arrange an informal
chat. Please also circulate to anyone you think may be interested in applying!
All best wishes
Leif
