Universität Heidelberg: Research Data Engineer 100% E13 (w/m/d)

Heidelberg University is a comprehensive university with a strong focus on research and international standards. With around 32,200 students and 9,540 employees, including numerous top researchers, it is a globally respected institution that also has outstanding economic significance for the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region.

The Heidelberg Center for Digital Humanities is one of Germany′s leading institutions in the fields of digital and computational humanities. Its key areas of focus are digital linguistics, digital heritage, and AI/machine learning. Thanks to its close ties with the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR), the HCDH pursues the computational humanities with particular intensity.

The Research Data Engineer full-time position (E13, 100%) for a term of 4 years, with the option to extend is available at the Heidelberg Center for Digital Humanities (HCDH) starting December 1, 2026 (or earliest possible).

2nd workshop on Computational Methods in the Humanities (COMHUM 2022)

In the demanding context of the beginning of this year, we have decided to postpone the submission date of proposals for COMHUM 2022. The new deadline for submission of abstracts is February 11, 2022.

CALL FOR PAPERS

2nd workshop on Computational Methods in the Humanities (COMHUM 2022)

June 9–10, 2022 — University of Lausanne, Switzerland

Special track: character network construction and analysis

At the turn of the 2020s, a defining characteristic of digital humanities remains the remarkably wide spectrum of viewpoints they encompass, ranging from a pure engineering perspective applied to humanities data to the use of well established humanities research methods to investigate born-digital artifacts. In this framework, the COMHUM workshop series positions itself as an international forum primarily devoted to the following research questions: (1) which computational methods are most appropriate for dealing with the particular challenges posed by humanities research, e.g., uncertainty,vagueness, incompleteness, but also with different positions (points of view, values, criteria, perspectives, approaches, readings, etc.

Call for Supporters: Computational Humanities Research (JCHR)

On behalf of Folgert Karsdorp (KNAW Meertens Institute) and Melvin Wevers (DHLab, KNAW Humanities Cluster).

Despite the growing use of computational methods in humanities research by an increasingly wide variety of scholars, many interdisciplinary scholars (including ourselves) still feel that there is no suitable research-oriented venue to present and/or publish robust, computational work that does not lose sight of questions relevant to the humanities. As such, we aim to fill this niche by creating a community for computational humanities researchers.

Ultimately, the goal of the computational humanities community is to set up a research-oriented computational humanities journal and conference. In the coming months, we will announce a workshop that is open to (short and long) full paper submissions. This workshop will serve as a stepping stone to a new, open-access journal of Computational Humanities Research.

We cordially invite you and other interested parties to join the conversation about future steps!
