Assistant or Associate Professor of Transcultural Digital Humanities

Job

The Department of European Languages and Transcultural Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles seeks to hire an assistant or associate professor of transcultural digital humanities with expertise in computationally-enabled, data-centric research and teaching. We invite applications from candidates at the Assistant and Associate Professor ranks, with a preference for those at the Assistant Professor level. A Ph.D. must be in hand by the time of appointment. Preference will be given to candidates with a track record of digital humanities projects. We are particularly interested in scholarship that makes use of multilingual, digital archives in the cultural, linguistic, literary, and historical traditions of our department (French and Francophone Studies, Germanic languages, Italian, Scandinavian languages, and/or central European languages, including Yiddish). We are open to any field of digital humanities, including innovative approaches to digital textual studies and natural language processing, translation studies, AI-enabled archival studies, historical reconstruction and cultural preservation, modelling and historical GIS, and digital media studies (including related fields such as sound studies, performance studies, and visual culture). We are eager to build upon local, national, and global partnerships with institutions focused on cultural heritage preservation, critical data studies and archival studies, especially European institutions that promote democracy, transnational citizenship, and ethical uses of technology in civil society. We are committed to expanding our departmental offerings across the fields of the experimental humanities: digital, environmental, urban, public, and health humanities, along with community engagement, through new offerings in areas such as the humanities and AI, data justice and algorithmic ethics, urban futures, migration studies, human rights, museum and archival studies, and social justice.
