Dear colleagues,
Thank you for your patience with the multiple posts you might see about this
2-year visiting position with Digital and Computational
Studies <https://www.bowdoin.edu/digital-and-computational-studies/> at Bowdoin
College. Although this is a sabbatical replacement for two digital humanists, we
invite applications from scholars across the arts, humanities, and physical and
social sciences, who create or critique digital or computational artifacts. We
will start our review of applications on January 15, 2023. More information
follows my signature.

Thank you,
Crystal

The Digital & Computational Studies Program (DCS) at Bowdoin College invites
applications for a full-time, visiting assistant professor position in digital
humanities, new media arts or studies, computational social sciences, or
computational physical sciences to begin July 1, 2023; this position is intended
as a 2-year position, contingent upon successful review after an initial one-
year appointment. PhD required by the time of appointment. We are especially
interested in applicants whose research or artistic practices focus on the
critique or creation of digital or computational technologies from a liberal
arts perspective. Teaching responsibilities include two courses per semester.
Topics for these courses include, but are not limited to a methods course that
explores application of a certain technology (i.e. AI, text analysis, data
visualization, physical computing, etc.) and an advanced seminar in the
candidate’s area of specialization. For more information about DCS, please visit
our program website: https://www.bowdoin.edu/digital-and-computational-studies/.

Successful candidates will demonstrate a strong commitment to undergraduate
liberal arts education and to inclusive excellence in undergraduate teaching.
For a description of inclusive excellence, please consult the following

warmly welcomes people of all backgrounds. We encourage applications from
candidates committed to the instruction and support of a diverse student
population and from those who will enrich and contribute to the College’s
multifaceted diversity. We especially encourage people from historically
excluded groups to apply. Bowdoin College offers opportunities for professional
development including robust programming and resources for establishing and
enhancing mentoring networks. The College also offers support for teaching,
publication, digital initiatives, computing software, conference travel support,
and community partnerships in courses. Accessibility during the application and
interview stages, as well as once employed, is a priority of the College:
