From: DHNetwork
Subject: University of Toronto Jackman Humanities Institute: 2020-21 Postdoc in DH and "Collectives" (apply by Nov. 15, 2019)
DHN-JHI-CLIR Postdoctoral Fellow for 2020-21 (applications due November
15, 2019)*
The Jackman Humanities Institute
(https://humanities@utoronto.ca/, JHI) at the University of Toronto,
with support from the Council of Library and Information Resources
(http://www.clir.org/, 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
(http://www.clir.org/fellowships/postdoc)'s
mandatory week-long seminar in early August 2020 at Bryn Mawr College
and other CLIR events. 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
tri-campus university. Specifically, depending on their own skill set
and research interests, the JHI DH Postdoctoral Fellow will:
* 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 round-table discussions and workshops at the JHI and
with UofT Libraries on digital humanities topics;
* organize, facilitate, and participate in other tri-campus 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;
* participate in weekly JHI fellows lunches every Thursday from the\x{92}
beginning of September 2020 to the first week of May 2021.
The JHI DH Postdoctoral Fellowship is a twelve-month position, from 1
July 2020 to 30 June 2021, supervised by Professor Elspeth Brown
(Historical Studies). The JHI DH Postdoctoral Fellow may seek additional
research supervision from within University of Toronto 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 $53,000 (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 relevant to the JHI's annual theme of Collectives.
2020-2021 Annual Theme: Collectives
From political parties to literary coteries, from fan groups to sports
teams, from terrorist organizations to online groups, our collectives,
associations, and communities are multiform and complex. How do we band
together and why? In teaming up, how does membership of a collective
affect one's own agency and standing what do we lose, what do we gain?
Can collectives truly be agents and how do group dynamics emerge? How do
we balance the interests between collectives, of individuals and
collectives, and of the individual within the collective?
Eligibility and Attributes
Applicants must have completed their doctorate within five years of the
beginning of the fellowship on 1 July 2020. Applicants who will defend
their thesis before the end of May 2020 are eligible, but a letter from
their supervisor or Chair may be requested. Any award will be
conditional on a successful defence. Applicants who received their Ph.D.
prior to 1 July 2015 are ineligible. Applicants who are graduates of
doctoral programs at the University of Toronto are eligible. This
position is not open to those who hold a tenure-track position.
The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate excellence in
teaching and research and have an established track record in the
digital humanities. They will understand the history, development, and
current state of the field; be able to assess institutional processes
and policies; be willing to work with a range of scholars in and outside
of their own field; desire to learn and pursue research in an
interdisciplinary, collaborative environment; and be committed to open
source development and open access scholarship.

citizens of all countries. The University of Toronto is strongly
committed to diversity within its community and especially welcomes
applications from racialized persons / persons of colour, women,
