JOB> Digital Humanities Professorships in Leiden
Posted on behalf of Jonathan Silk who suggests this might be of interest to Buddhologists. (The H-Net job postings for these are in the pipes.)Forwarded Message Below:
The Faculty of Humanities at Leiden University invites applications for 2 fulltime assistant professorships in Digital Humanities.
Assistant Professor Digital Humanities with focus on text analysis (1.0 fte)
Assistant Professor Digital Humanities with focus on data-analysis and visualization (1.0 fte)
The Leiden University Centre for Digital Humanities (LUCDH) is recruiting two assistant professors to develop innovative research projects that take full advantage of digital sources and methods, to design and implement teaching programmes in Digital Humanities and to collaborate with digital humanities research across the university.
The two hires will be in complementary areas of the Digital Humanities (DH). We are looking for candidates with an area of specialisation in one of two broader areas. The first position will focus on text analysis (including text and image mark-up, text-mining, corpus linguistics, named entity recognition, topic modelling, or machine learning). The other will focus on the development of data analysis and visualisation platforms (including database design, visualisation, network analysis, or geographic information systems).
For more information go to: http://werkenbij.leidenuniv.nl/vacatures/wetenschappelijke-functies/16-061-062-vacature-universiteit-leiden-assistant-professors-digital-humanities.html
These hires are part of a broader investment in DH at Leiden. The University Library is also recruiting for two positions (in Dutch: http://werkenbij.leidenuniv.nl/vacatures/ondersteunende-en-staffuncties/16-033-034-vacatur...).
We also expect to recruit for two to three Ph.D. fellowships in the near future.

ADMIN> Job Postings on H-Net
Dear Colleagues:I have written about this numerous times in the past, but it still seems that the matter needs to be clarified once in a while.
The rules established by H-Net state that member networks such as H-Buddhism are required to have job advertisements registered with the H-Net Job Guide.
Some of our subscribers are not happy with this policy, and indeed, some members of our editorial team also wish it were otherwise. It is pointed out that payment for job ads is not practiced in Europe. It is also pointed out that some popular listserves in our field, such as Indology, the Korean Studies list, the Confucian Studies list, and others, are willing to post jobs for free.
We are in a different situation than such individual listserves. We are supported by H-Net, which provides extensive services (including job ads for the full spectrum of Humanities) that are not supported by individual listserves, including book reviews, linking with other networks, blogging, uploading of images and videos, and so forth. For the book review service alone, H-Net pays the salaries of several professional copy editors. H-Net also has a staff, servers, and other infrastructure at Michigan State that requires financial support. The job ads are the principal source of income for this. Also, H-Net is a North American network, and in North America, journals pay for job ads. Finally, the cost of job ads on H-Net is significantly less than alternative outlets such as the Chronicle.
We are of course very happy to have job ads posted separately on H-Buddhism, and this is good for the advertisers as well, as the ad will be guaranteed to reach most scholars in the field. We also repost the job ads on our Twitter account.
Therefore we ask you: please post your job ads on H-Buddhism, but before doing so, please register them with the Job Guide first. When you have the link generated by the Job Guide, you can include that in your post.
Job ads that are not pre-registered with the Job Guide will not be posted.
Regards,
Chuck
