[Sabine Bartsch]

The Department of Linguistics and Literary Studies of Technische 
Universität Darmstadt seeks to fill the following vacancies

2 Professorships (W3 and W2)
in Digital Philologies

In the past ten years, the Department has established the Digital 
Humanities with foci in English Corpus and Computational Linguistics as 
well as German Computer Philology. Throughout this period, the 
Department has consolidated its position in the digital humanities 
through internationally networked research activities and the 
installation of a bilingual Master of Arts program Linguistic and 
Literary Computing. The specific profile of Digital Humanities as 
Digital Philologies is going receive further impetus by the installation 
of a cluster of three professorships representing this discipline. 
Together with the already existing professorship for German 
Computational Philology (Andrea Rapp), the two new professorships will 
form a philology-based cluster of Digital Humanities at TU Darmstadt: 
(1) W3 Linguistics with a focus on corpus and computational linguistics 
and (2) W2 Literary Studies and Cultural Studies with a focus on Digital 
Literary Studies / Digital Cultural Studies.

The prospective postholders are expected to have a succinct research 
profile in the Digital Humanities and to fully represent the field in 
research as well as teaching in the courses of studies offered by the 
department (Master of Arts Linguistic and Literary Computing, Master of 
Arts Germanistik, Joint Bachelor of Arts Germanistik, Master of 
Education German, Lehramt an Gymnasien Deutsch). They should furthermore 
take responsibility for the introduction of a Bachelor of Arts program 
Digital Philologies.

demonstrated respectively:

(1) W3 Linguistics with a focus on corpus and computational linguistics

Applicants are expected to hold a Habilitation or a track record of 
equivalent scientific work relevant to one of the research profiles 
described above. A proven record of excellent teaching at university 
level is likewise expected. Furthermore, openness for interdisciplinary 
collaboration and experience in acquiring research funding are expected.

The position is tenured with a remuneration package commensurate with 
experience and qualifications, following the German "W-Besoldung". The 
regulations for employment are specified under §§ 61 and 62 HHG 
(Hessisches Hochschulgesetz).

The Technische Universität Darmstadt intends to increase the number of 
female faculty members and encourages female candidates to apply. In 
case of equal qualifications applicants with a degree of disability of 
at least 50 or equal will be given preference.

Applications using code number 514/515 (including a CV, list of
