Cambridge Digital Humanities seeks to recruit a fixed term Assistant Professor in Digital Humanities, to be appointed to the Faculty of English. The appointee will take up the post in September 2024 for a period of five years.

We also have strong associations with Cambridge’s many museums and collections, work closely with the University Library, and have links to many other research centres.
The successful applicant will be expected to be a committed digital humanities researcher with a specialism in any area of Digital Humanities, which we conceive as an expansive and intrinsically inter-disciplinary field.
We particularly welcome applicants who combine theoretical and practical specialisms, including, for instance, in coding, visual analysis, social network analysis, computer vision and DH, AI, and new DH methodologies.
The successful applicant will conduct original research with international reach and significance. They will publish at the appropriate level and collaborate to attract significant external funding. They will have significant teaching experience and ideally have experience of academic leadership roles.

They will be an integral member of the CDH research community, working alongside a diverse group of researchers, collaborating in generating and prosecuting research projects, and helping us build our international reputation.
The successful applicant will contribute to postgraduate teaching and supervision on the MPhil in Digital Humanities, and they will also take on doctoral students in CDH. The role is likely to involve undergraduate teaching in future years as CDH develops.
