Posted 12 Jul Deadline 10 Aug Location Amsterdam
The research group Digital Editions is looking for a Researcher or Software

What does the job entail?
The research group Innovating Digital Editions at the Huygens Institute in
Amsterdam creates digital scholarly editions of literary and (cultural)
historical sources, with a focus on Dutch history and culture. The group
consists of experts in textual scholarship, (digital) scientific editions and
cultural heritage. As a member of the eDITem project you will work on the
realization of a tool for publishing digital text editions. You design templates
in TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) XML to model and publish different types of
literary and (cultural) historical sources. You work closely with researchers
involved in the edition project The Mondrian Papers
(https://mondrianpapers.org/), for which a proof-of-concept digital edition is
being delivered. You also work closely with the Digital Infrastructure
department of the KNAW Humanities Cluster, which is responsible for developing
and managing, often innovative, software for scientific research.
You will liaise with researchers from different departments of the Huygens
Institute, to prepare modeling templates for other source editions in TEI XML.
Ideally, you have experience with scholarly (digital) editions and/or a
(cultural) historical interest. The work is both independent and team-based, and
will be directed by a researcher from the Innovating Digital Editions research
group at the Huygens Institute. The project will ideally start on September 1,
2022, and will run for 2 years. The project offers good prospects for a
permanent position.

Have a careful, secure and independent working method; * Have experience in
front-end development; * Have a good ability to deal with project deadlines; *
Have affinity and/or research experience with historical and cultural-historical

Huygens Institute
The KNAW Humanities Cluster stands for innovative and interdisciplinary research
in the humanities and heritage world. The KNAW Humanities Cluster is a
collaboration of three KNAW institutes: the Huygens Institute for the History of
the Netherlands, the International Institute of Social History and the Meertens
Institute. At these institutes, we conduct pioneering and excellent humanities
research (history, ethnology, literature, linguistics) using innovative methods
in which informatics plays an important role. The operational management of the
KNAW Humanities Cluster is carried out by a central business office that
supports these three institutes as well as the Netherlands Institute for
Advanced Study (NIAS) and the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation (NIOD)
in their operational management. The HuC has a joint department for Digital
Infrastructure, a Digital Humanities Lab and NLLab.
Diversity & Inclusion
The KNAW considers a working environment in which everyone feels welcome and
valued of great importance. A working environment where attention is paid to
individual quality and where development opportunities come first. Together, we
strive for an inclusive culture that embraces differences. We therefore invite
candidates who through their background and experience want to contribute to
this. In case of equal suitability, preference will be given to the candidate
who can strengthen the diversity within the KNAW in this way.
