Description:

This a joint job advertisement for both Digital Humanities professorship

The Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Cologne, Germany
invites applications for 2 Professorships (W2) in Digital Humanities (Applied
computer science in the humanities):
1. Computational Linguistics;
2. Computational Historical and Cultural Studies
to be filled by 1 October 2015.

The appointees collaborate in further developing and implementing
computational methods and technologies in the humanities based on an
interdisciplinary approach. They contribute to the methodological discussion
in the Digital Humanities as well as to the development of practical
applications.

One of the two professorships will focus on material- and text-related
subjects (specifically, History, Classics, Philosophy, Art History, Media
Studies), the other one on the language sciences (Literary Computing,
Computational Linguistics). Together, they are in charge of teaching the
programme Digital Humanities (Studiengang „Informationsverarbeitung“) and the
optional subject Digital Media Studies (Wahlpflichtfach „Medieninformatik“).

Both professorships are expected to cooperate closely with the further Digital
Humanities- related professorships in the faculty (e.g., Computational
Archaeology) and with applied computer sciences in other faculties of the
University of Cologne, and to develop joint (teaching or research) projects
with them. They take an active role in the management of the „Cologne Center
for eHumanities“ and a leading role in supervising and guiding the „Data
Center for the Humanities“.

A specialty in corpus linguistics is an essential requirement for the
professorship in Computational Linguistics. Successful candidates are expected
to work closely together with the other language scientists in the framework
of the Cologne Center of Language Sciences in both research and teaching. This
includes teaching duties in the linguistic BA- and MA- programmes.

An essential requirement for the professorship in Computational Historical and
Cultural Studies is a specialisation in one or more of the following subject
areas: Digital Media/Culture/Society, Digital History/Art History, Cultural
Heritage Informatics, Computational Philology.

Further essential criteria for both positions are: International experience,
acquisition of third party funding and the successful management of research
grants, evidence of interdisciplinary cooperation with more than one
humanities subjects.

According to § 36 HG NRW, the applicant must hold a PhD, demonstrate
scientific achievements in a published body of work that go beyond the topic
of the PhD, and have extensive teaching experience.

The University of Cologne particularly encourages applications from disabled
persons. Disabled persons are given preference in case of equal qualification.
Women are strongly encouraged to apply. Preferential treatment is given to
women if their professional qualifications and abilities are equivalent to
those of other applicants.

Applicants should submit their documents (CV, list of publications, list of
taught courses, teaching evaluations if available, evidence for software
expertise, and copies of official certificates) to the Dean of the Faculty of
Arts and Humanities at the University of Cologne (address below)  by February
18, 2015.

Please do not send original certificates, as we are unable to return the
documents.
