    Beschreibung

    The Humboldt Chair in Digital Humanities at the Department of Digital Humanities and Social Studies at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg is looking for up to 8 postdoctoral and doctoral researchers to join exciting projects on language, data, and society in the digital world.

    Ihre Aufgaben
    In todays digital world, a deep understanding of language and its role in society is vital for humanity. Human beings use language to act, to do things and interact with one another. People use language to make sense of the world.

    Language is used to tell the stories and create the narratives that shape our society, our culture and our reality.

    The digital world has added further dimensions to the way in which language provides data, helps to interpret data and tells stories about data.

    Crucially, a lot of data in the digital world is language data. At the same time, the human perspective on data will always require language to make sense of it.

    Even if AI takes over the telling of stories of humanities, it will need to be humans who make sense of them, and they need language to do so.

    Join our DHSS team and contribute to a programme of innovative research with projects that develop computational, corpus, and statistical methods and software, as well as topic-focused projects in digital environmental humanities, digital literary and cultural history, digitally supported storytelling and creative writing.

    In your cover letter, please specify which of these focus areas you are applying for. Depending on your qualifications and experience there are different options of appointment.
    PhD positions are for up to 3 years (65% or 100%) Postdoctoral positions are initially for 2 years (100%), with the opportunity for extension after successful completion of that period
    Specific responsibilities will include (depending on the project strand):
    Collecting, analysing and interpreting data
    Critically evaluating research literature and projects
    Developing, implementing, and applying novel methods and tools
    Writing up results and co-authoring publications

    Developing training materials for workshops, and materials for web presence
