The University of Glasgow is seeking to appoint two open-ended Lectureships in Digital Humanities. These appointments will support the delivery of our postgraduate taught programme in Digital Humanities. The lectureships will be based in Information Studies within the School of Humanities and will contribute to other programmes within this Subject Area (covering Library, Archive and Museum Studies, as well as Digital Humanities).

The successful applicant will contribute to curriculum development, teaching delivery, and the continued growth of our Digital Humanities provision within Information Studies and in the College of Arts & Humanities more broadly. The lectureships will be based in the Subject Area of Information Studies, which sits within the School of Humanities (Archaeology, Celtic & Gaelic, Classics, History, Information Studies, Philosophy). The College of Arts & Humanities also comprises the Schools of Modern Languages and Cultures, Critical Studies, and Culture & Creative Arts.

There are strong links between the four Schools, with scope for further development by the appointed lecturers.

We welcome candidates with strong Digital Humanities research expertise and a commitment to innovative postgraduate teaching. The successful applicant will contribute to curriculum development, teaching delivery, and the continued growth of our Digital Humanities provision within Information Studies and in the College of Arts & Humanities more broadly. The programme builds on established strengths in postgraduate teaching and research in Digital Humanities and equips students with theoretical understanding and practical skills in computational approaches to cultural heritage, textual analysis, data visualisation, and digital archiving.

The College of Arts & Humanities at Glasgow has an established reputation for excellence in postgraduate teaching and research in Digital Humanities. Our new Digital Humanities programme builds on this strength, offering students opportunities to develop expertise at the intersection of humanities scholarship and digital methods.
