Science at Heidelberg University, Germany, has an open position for a
PhD student (full time, salary scale TV-L E 13, 3 years) in the field

The goal of the PhD research is to develop novel methods and techniques

multidisciplinary team (Computer Science and Literary Studies) of 
researchers
from Heidelberg University and the University of Hamburg.
