Dear all

We are delighted to announce two new ground-breaking Professorships in the
Department of Digital Humanities at King's. We seek to appoint a Professor of
Digital Technology in Culture and Society, and a Professor of Critical Digital
Practice. The specifications for the two posts, and links to further details,
are below.

Potential candidates are welcome to contact me directly to discuss.

-----

Professor of Digital Technology in Culture and Society

The post holder will deliver world-leading research, research-informed teaching,
and research mentoring and supervision. Applicants will be able to demonstrate
an international profile with an excellent publication record and a track record
of achieving grant funding. The post holder will build and expand upon the
Department's research, extending into new directions and significant emergent
areas. They will be expected to provide inspiring and innovative teaching and
research that explores the social, cultural and intellectual role of computing
within contemporary society, in ways that expand and enrich the digital
humanities as more conventionally understood. They will teach across the
Department's existing range of options and create new modules of broad interest
at both BA and MA level. Applications from all areas of the digital humanities
and culture will be considered but we particularly welcome applications from
candidates whose research provokes new thinking and crosses disciplinary and
domain boundaries. The post holder will join a vibrant and energetic research
community in which the Faculty is investing heavily.

Professor of Critical Digital Practice

The post holder will have a strong background as a critical practitioner in a
field of the digital humanities, broadly defined. They will deliver world-
leading research, including, where appropriate, practice-ed research, research-
informed teaching, and research mentoring and supervision. Applicants will be
able to demonstrate an international profile with an excellent publication
record commensurate with their expertise, and a track record of achieving grant
funding. The post holder will build and expand upon the Department's research,
extending into new directions and significant emergent areas. They will be
expected to provide inspiring and innovative teaching and research grounded in a
field of critical digital practice, included, but not limited to coding,
visualization, design or creative methods. They will offer teaching across the
Department's existing range of options, and create new modules of broad interest
at both BA and MA level. They will seek out new and emerging student markets and
contribute to the development of new programmes to meet student demand,
including distance learning. They will also contribute significantly to the
Department and College's vision for practice-led PhD supervision. Applications
from all areas of the digital humanities and culture will be considered but we
particularly welcome applications from candidates whose research provokes new
thinking and crosses disciplinary and domain boundaries, and which engages with
practice-based research. The post holder will join a vibrant and energetic
research community in which the Faculty is investing heavily.
