We are looking for an internationally visible scholar from the field

specialization in methods, applications, and contexts of Artificial
Intelligence in the broader sense (including technical understanding
such as coding, application to philological research questions, and

knowledge of established DH methods (e.g., NLP and other computational
techniques and models, distant reading, etc.) is advantageous.
Networking within the Faculty of Philology as well as active
participation in research foci, centers, and collaborative projects
are expected. The successful candidate will assume a leadership
function in the DH Lab established in 2024 at the Faculty of
Philology, and will play a leading role in the (further) development
of DH-related study and certificate programs, as well as in modules

In all other respects, the conditions for appointment according to §
