Job Alert: Literary studies and Digital Humanities

Professor Stephanie Trigg (@stephanietrigg), Dr Joe Hughs (@joephughes) and Professor Guillemette Bolens are looking for to fill a part-time post-doctoral position. They need someone with expertise in literary studies and some experience in digital humanities. From the position description:

“… ARC project DP200101325: Literature and the Face, a history of literary representations of the human face that hopes to understand the different ways the face has been interpreted in literary texts and when and why those interpretations changed.

The appointee will lead the development and exploration of digital methodologies on the project: they will build a public-facing database, work with existing large corpora of literary texts, and use natural language processing tools to analyse them. In addition, they will provide both research support including sourcing materials; and administrative support, including co-organising symposia, booking travel, and monitoring the budget and the project’s resources. The Associate will be involved fully in the life of the research project: they will collaborate in publications and they will have some opportunity and mentorship to build their own research profile.” http://jobs.unimelb.edu.au/caw/en/job/903340/arc-research-associate

We’ve certainly enjoyed seeing this project come into being from the ARC applications that seem (in this pandemic) to have been many many decades ago.
