Postdoctoral Research Assistant, Digital Humanities and Media Technology Studies, 60%

Job

In addition to the academic qualification at the University of Basel (i.e. habilitation or equivalent achievements) through your own research, the assistant's tasks include, in particular, participation in teaching (2 hours per week per semester), academic self-administration and collaboration in the supervision of students and the academic projects and events at the Digital Humanities Lab. You will have the opportunity to shape the directions of a burgeoning research group, and you will be expected to play a leading organizational role in designing research and outreach programs and events. This particular position will be associated with the professorship in digital humanities with a focus on Artificial Intelligence held by Prof. Dr. Ranjodh Singh Dhaliwal. The prerequisite is a doctorate (by the time of appointment) in digital humanities, computer science, literary studies, media studies, science and technology studies, information studies, or other related disciplinary configurations. We are open in terms of your research focus, as long as it includes some form of hands-on digital practice as a central component, but an engagement with critical AI studies, design approaches, game studies, code studies, and/or ethnographic frameworks would be welcomed. Also desirable would be experience (or interest) in local and global community building, academic and para-academic event organization, and/or visual design. Strong language and communication skills in English are a requirement. Additionally, a strong command of the German language is desirable.
