Subject: Job opportunity: Open-Rank Teaching Professor or Professor of the Practice in Digital Humanities, Northeastern University
Please circulate widely!
The College of Social Sciences and Humanities (CSSH) at Northeastern University
invites applications and nominations for one or more faculty positions in
Digital Humanities with a specialization in literary, cultural, rhetorical, or
historical studies. These renewable positions will be at the rank of Teaching
Professor (Assistant, Associate, or Full) or Professor of the Practice. Home
departments include English; History; Cultures, Societies, and Global Studies;
or other units within CSSH with other colleges, such as Arts, Media and Design
(CAMD). The expected start date is Fall 2022.
We seek to strengthen and diversify our faculty and leadership in experiential
and community engaged learning and digital humanities pedagogy, in support of
Northeastern’s graduate certificate program in Digital Humanities, as well as
our undergraduate DH minor and DH combined major. Northeastern’s robust digital
humanities community draws on strong working relationships with the NULab, the
library’s Digital Scholarship Group, and the Boston Research Center. Teaching
Professors have clear promotional paths, full participation in faculty
governance, and a focus on teaching and teaching-related project development.
Professor of the Practice is a role designed for accomplished practitioners who
have been working in relevant contexts such as libraries, museums, software
development organizations, funding agencies, non-profits, cultural heritage
organizations, and digital humanities centers. For both positions, we welcome
applications from across digital humanities domains, and we value research,
praxis, and leadership experience outside of academia. Successful applicants
will have the ability to initiate and lead substantive research projects, design
innovative curricula, engage with practitioners and communities outside of the
academy, and contribute to strategic planning around experiential learning in
digital humanities. We are particularly interested in candidates who explore the
critical and cultural significance of tools and methods in the context of
questions of race, gender, sexuality, and politics.
Candidates must have a PhD or equivalent terminal degree such as an EdD, MFA,
MLS, or MLIS by the start date of the appointment and a commitment to teaching
excellence. Outstanding candidates at the rank of Associate Teaching Professor
and above will require a record of scholarship, expertise and/or teaching
excellence commensurate with rank. The initial application will include a CV, a
statement on teaching (and research, as applicable) that describes how the
candidate’s work engages with issues of diversity and social justice and
provides links to any digital work. Please also be prepared to provide the names
of three references. We seek candidates who are committed to building an
inclusive and diverse community of students, faculty, and staff, and we
especially encourage applications from scholars who have been and remain
underrepresented or marginalized in the field of digital humanities - including
but not limited to scholars of color, women, LGBTQ+ people, individuals with
disabilities and applicants from lower-income and first-generation academic
backgrounds.
