Applicants should have a Ph.D. in a humanities-related discipline and should have demonstrated expertise in digital humanities teaching and research. We are eager to consider any applicants who can play a leading role in growing our digital humanities minor, a three-year program taken by students who are pursuing engineering, computer science, and architecture majors. Ideally, the chosen candidate will complement our existing strengths in digital literary studies, have sufficient training in computational methods to guide our technologically-minded students, and be able to foster collaborations with architecture, engineering and computer science faculty in the wider university.
The successful candidate will be required to teach our undergraduate humanities core course and co-teach the introductory course of our digital humanities minor program. Other duties will include developing new electives in the candidate’s area of specialization and working with other faculty on the humanities team to develop new programmatic initiatives in both the humanities and digital humanities.
