        Subject: Postdoc At Washington University in St. Louis

The Department of Comparative Literature and Thought at Washington University in
St. Louis invites applications for a two-year postdoctoral teaching fellowship
in digital humanities. The fellowship period will run from July 1, 2026 to June
30, 2028, with the possibility of a one-year extension.

We welcome candidates with a Ph.D. in any humanities discipline, provided they
have broad exposure to digital humanities approaches and methods as well as
demonstrated expertise in computational text analysis. Applicants must have the
Ph.D. in hand by the start of the fellowship.

In addition to pursuing their own research agenda, the postdoctoral fellow will
teach the equivalent of four courses per year and is expected to participate
fully in the thriving DH community on campus. Teaching responsibilities will
include at least one regular course each Fall and Spring semester. Additional
teaching responsibilities may include additional semester-long lab courses or a
series of several short-term workshops. Fellows are expected to be in residence
during the entire fellowship period, apart from research-related travel. Fellows
will receive a salary of $64,380 per year, plus Washington University
postdoctoral benefits and a $2,500 annual research/travel stipend.

Applicants should submit a CV, graduate school transcript, two letters of
recommendation, a description of their current research project, a brief account
of the applicant’s involvement in digital humanities, and a proposal for a
seminar (introductory or advanced) in digital humanities.

Submit all application materials electronically via the Interfolio posting:
https://apply.interfolio.com/185361. Inquiries may be directed to Matt Erlin
merlin@wustl.edu<mailto:merlin@wustl.edu> or Joseph Loewenstein
jfloewen@wustl.edu<mailto:jfloewen@wustl.edu>. Applications must be received by
May 22, 2026. Washington University in St. Louis is an AA/EO employer, and
strongly encourages applications from women, ethnic minorities, veterans, and
individuals with disabilities.
