From: Elspeth Brown
Subject: Jackman postdoc (Toronto)
The Jackman Humanities Institute (JHI) at the University of Toronto,
with support from the Council of Library and Information Resources
(CLIR) offers a twelve-month Postdoctoral Fellowship in Digital
Humanities with a focus on digital cultures and computational approaches
to humanities research. The JHI DH Postdoctoral Fellow will have an
established track record in their own discipline and/or the digital
humanities. They will pursue their own research while at UofT, while
working to foster the JHI's DH Network at UofT. They will receive
training, research, and networking opportunities through CLIR.
The mandate of the JHI DH Network is to design and support initiatives
that raise awareness of and build upon UofT's existing strengths in the
digital humanities. In this context, digital humanities means the
communities and methods, tools, and platforms-based approaches often
associated with the term "digital humanities"; and a broader agenda that
also encompasses interpretative or theoretical work on digitality, and a
wide variety of computational approaches to humanities research.
Responsibilities
The JHI DH Postdoctoral Fellow will be supported to attend the CLIR's
Postdoctoral Fellowship program's mandatory week-long seminar (28 July-3
August 2019) at Bryn Mawr College and other CLIR events.[1] The JHI DH
Postdoctoral Fellow will draw upon their disciplinary expertise and upon
training provided by CLIR, the JHI, and UofT Libraries to connect and
strengthen DH projects across the tricampus university. Specifically,
depending on their own skillset and research interests, the JHI DH
Postdoctoral Fellow will:
* direct the development and organization of the annual summer meeting
of the DH Network, August 2019 at UTM, in close collaboration with
administrative staff;
* establish and maintain online spaces where members of the DH Network
can share information about their research and discuss matters of
common interest;
* run regular roundtables and workshops at the JHI and
with UofT Libraries on digital humaniâ\x{80}\x{93}ties topics;
* organize, facilitate, and participate in other tricampus DH training
initiatives;
* facilitate introductions and connections between researchers within
the DH Network;
* in consultation with digital librarians, provide one-on-one and
group consultancy to humanities researchers seeking to make use of
infrastructure for digital scholarship in and beyond UofT;
* participate in planning the future shape and directions of the DHN
* articipate in weekly JHI fellows lunches every Thursday from the
beginning of September to the first week of May.
The JHI DH Postdoctoral Fellowship is a twelve-month position, from 1
July 2019 to 30 June 2020, co-supervised by Alexandra Gillespie and
Elspeth Brown. The JHI DH Postdoctoral Fellow may seek additional
research supervision from within UofT according to their own interests.
They will have access to equipment and collaborative digital working
space at JHI. This fellowship award provides an annual stipend of
$51,500 (CAD) plus benefits. The incumbent is welcome to seek up to 1.0
FYE credits in teaching as a sessional instructor with the appropriate
unit(s) at the University of Toronto. The JHI DH Postdoctoral Fellow
will be expected to pursue their own research; projects relevant to the
JHI's annual theme of Strange Weather are particularly desired.
Annual Theme, 2019-2020: Strange Weather
How might the humanities contribute to the critical discourse on energy
and climate? The energy crisis is no longer simply about limited
supplies but now concerns the very nature and place of energy in human
life and society. Strange weather as symptom of changing climate
destabilizes our trust in and certainty of our home (i.e. our planet)
and provokes fantasies of control and of chaos. How can we help frame
questions of environmental degradation, scientific knowledge and its
popularization, especially in their relation to social equity, and
societal futures?
