Assistant or Associate Director for Digital Scholarship, and Director of
the Digital Liberal Arts Research

https://psu.jobs/job/89869

The College of the Liberal Arts at The Pennsylvania State University
invites applications for a full-time Assistant or Associate Research
Professor to serve in the position of Assistant or Associate Director
for Digital Scholarship, and Director of the Digital Liberal Arts
Research Initiative, serving within the Office of Digital Pedagogy and
Scholarship (DPS). The start date is flexible but will begin no later
than Spring 2020. A Ph.D. is required for this position. This is a
fixed-term appointment with excellent possibility of re-funding. For
appropriate candidates, an affiliate faculty appointment with the
University Libraries is possible. The position will report to the
Director of Digital Pedagogy and Scholarship, with a secondary reporting
line to the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies. DPS
facilitates collaborations in the College of the Liberal Arts to pursue
digital research projects and to use innovative digital methods in
teaching. The Digital Liberal Arts Research Initiative is designed to
expand and publicize support for faculty and students who are planning
to begin using or increase their use of digital tools and methods (e.g.,
GIS, text analysis, record digitization and collation, graphical
presentation, or statistical analysis) in research. This initiative will
support digital research within both the humanities and social sciences,
including the College’s new Center for Digital Black Studies. The
Assistant/Associate Director will serve as a first point of contact for
faculty entering the digital research space, or for those using digital
tools who have questions or problems with which they need assistance.
They will develop and formalize procedures and processes to work with
faculty seeking support. This might include directing them to resources
in the university that already exist, organizing workshops, providing
direct individual support, or pulling together a team to assist with
particular projects. The Assistant/Associate Director will work
cooperatively to integrate and coordinate support resources from
multiple units, including but not limited to the University Libraries;
the Office of Digital Pedagogy and Scholarship; other College of the
Liberal Arts Centers such as the Center for Humanities and Information,
the Humanities Institute, and the Center for Social Data Analytics; and
other campus organizations such as the Teaching with Learning and
Technology group within central IT, or Penn State’s visualization lab.
Providing resources in a coordinated fashion will include developing and
publicizing workshops, speakers, and training programs for faculty and
students. As the Initiative grows, this position may require additional
resources, such as student interns or additional personnel within the
Office of Digital Pedagogy and Scholarship. Identifying researcher
needs, working with the Digital Liberal Arts Advisory Board to develop a
strategic plan to address those needs and expand digital scholarship and
research, helping to define unit needs, and coordinating digital
research activities are important parts of the position. We expect that
the precise day-to-day work of the position will evolve over the next
few years as capabilities and connections expand within the College. The
successful candidate will have, in addition to the Ph.D., experience
supporting or developing a digital project from conception to
completion; experience providing digital scholarship instruction and/or
research consultation; and broad knowledge of digital scholarship
methods in the Humanities and the Social Sciences. 

Preferred qualifications include experience with grant development and 
management, budget management, assessment and strategic planning, and/or 
student or staff supervision. 

Support is available for the candidate’s ongoing active research agenda, 
if applicable. Teaching opportunities at Penn State may be available, 
although the position is designed primarily to support research. 

Evaluation will include an assessment of the increasing interest and use 
of digital tools by faculty in their research. 

To be considered for this position, submit an online application and 
include a letter of application detailing relevant qualifications for 
this job, a curriculum vitae, and a list of three references. Review of 
applications will be on September 15, 2019 and will continue until the 
position is filled.
