(tl;dr: http://is.gd/acadtechhums)
I’m happy to post here an opening we have at Yale in the Academic ITS group for an Academic Technology Specialist for the Humanities. It doesn’t report to me, but I’ll likely be working closely with the person. My gloss on the position is that it’s a pretty exciting time to be working in academic tech at Yale. Joining us will help determine what directions we look and go. You’ll note some conflictedness about whether it’s a DH position or not. I think it is, but we’re talking big tent here. (“Big tent” including my unofficial hope that applicants will be critical participants in DH.)
Excerpt:
Digital Humanities is a rapidly growing area of scholarship and teaching at Yale University. Reporting to the Sr. Director for Educational Technologies, the position will interact with a diverse range of collaborators including faculty, curators, research staff, Librarians, and Academic Technologists to facilitate the use of digital technologies in the Humanities. This position will partner with faculty and graduate students in Humanities departments, developing, deploying and supporting technologies in support of the unique aspects of Humanities scholarship and teaching; recommending strategic directions, participating in prioritizing projects, and tracking and disseminating advancements in the field. This position will move between independent work, one-on-one collaborations with faculty, and project work with colleagues in Academic IT Solutions.
This position is for a two-year term appointment, with the possibility of further extension.
