Search for University Jobs in Humanities

The College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) seeks to hire a Digital Humanities (DH) Project Director and Manager to help accelerate impactful and ethical research at the intersections of data (including the building of new archives), computation, and the arts and humanities at the University at Buffalo.

As a collaborative and strategic thinker, this individual will be positioned in the Digital Scholarship Studio and Network (DSSN) and CAS, and will bring expertise in DH faculty research project design and management and in broader aspects of faculty research engaging digital scholarship across units of arts, humanities, social sciences, and sciences. This individual will also participate with DSSN leadership in thinking toward launching new initiatives to encourage and extend DH and other digital scholarship research. They will take proactive, inclusive, critically engaged, and potentially community-based approaches to managing or consulting on established digital projects and work to help faculty develop new, sustainable research projects; in some cases, this might include collaboration. Such extension might also involve discussion with faculty about use of classroom instruction to provide research support for faculty projects and teaching digital methods in the humanities. The individual will continuously look for ways to integrate diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice into digital humanities/scholarship practice and projects.

This individual may serve as Principle Investigator (PI) or co-PI on faculty collaborations or (with University approval) on externally-funded grants. They are expected to contribute to digital humanities scholarship through publications, presentations and/or outreach to the community.
