Short-Term (12 months, extension possible) Postdoctoral Research 
Fellowship in Digital Humanities
Trier Center for Digital Humanities
Trier University, Germany
*** Application deadline: Sept. 13th, 2013 ***

The Trier Center for Digital Humanities at Trier University is delighted 
to announce the availability of a postdoctoral research fellowship 
starting from November 1st, 2013, for an initial duration of 12 month with
the possibility of an extension for another 12 months, subject to the

funded by the state Rhineland-Palatine.


Trier Center for Digital Humanities
-----------------------------------
Since its inception in 1998, the Trier Center for Digital Humanities has
grown into a nationally and internationally renowned center in the area of 
Digital Humanities (DH). Its aim is to support research projects in the 
humanities, cultural and social sciences by developing and applying
innovative methods and procedures from information technology, thus
contributing to establishing and advancing new research methods in these 
disciplines as well as in computer science and information technology.
Main research areas include: establishing digital forms for accessing, 
linking, visualising and publishing in the humanities and cultural sciences
(e.g. reference works, digital editions, primary sources), analysing and 
visualising large text corpora, and developing virtual research 
environments for collaborative work. A main guiding principle
is the consequent use of open standards.


Fellowship Details
------------------
Proposed projects should intergrate well into the Center‘s research areas 
as listed above. It is expected that new projects will be proposed and 
initiated. Interdisciplinary proposals are welcome. The fellowship is 
1,700 euro per month paid as a scholarship, i.e. without tax or social
security deductions. Child benefit is paid at a rate of 150 euro for the 
first child and 50 euro for each additional child (see § 2 Sect. 1 of the
Bundeskindergeldgesetz for details of what persons are included in the 
definition of `children‘). The fellowship is supplemented by funds to cover
project-related travel costs. Upon acceptance of the fellowship the recipient 
agrees not to take up other employment during the duration of the fellowship,
to move to Trier and participate in the activities of the Trier Center for 
Digital Humanities, and to write intermediate and a final
report about the project. Application requirements are a completed PhD
