Mark Steinberg Weil Early Career Fellowship in Digital Humanities at
Washington University in St. Louis.The Humanities Digital Workshop at
Washington University in St. Louis invites applications for /a
three-year early-career fellowship in digital humanities/, to begin
July 1, 2012. We seek scholars with expertise in any of a broad range
of humanities topics and methods -- quantitative history, network
analysis, topic-modeling, statistical approaches to book history,
lexicography, computer-assisted stylistics, text-processing, or
human-computer interaction.The fellow’s research program should employ
analysis of digitized texts or data to extend or contest current
understandings of literary, political, social, or cultural history.
Candidates must have completed their doctorates after 2008, and must
have completed all requirements for the Ph.D. before July 1, 2012.
The Weil fellowship was established to foster the professional
development of gifted scholars and the further enrichment of the
university’s vigorous research environment. The HDW fellow is expected
to pursue her or his own research, but will also join the research
team of one or more of the projects currently supported by the HDW;
the Fellow is expected to participate in the intellectual life of the
HDW as well as of other units relevant to the Fellow’s research
interests. Teaching responsibilities include a course each Fall and
Spring semester, as well as supervision of a small number of
students.Some courses may be centered in the Fellow’s substantive
discipline; others may straddle disciplines, but with a methodological
focus in digital scholarship. Fellows are expected to be in residence
during the entire fellowship period, apart from research-related
travel. Fellows will receive a salary of $60,000 per year, plus
Washington University postdoctoral benefits; and a $5,000 annual
research/travel stipend.
Applicants should submit a CV, graduate school transcript, two letters
of recommendation, a description of the proposed research project, a
