Subject: Job in Cologne: Professorship for Digital Practices in Cultural Studies and Humanities
Dear all,
a new professorship will be opened in Cologne next year, and we are now seeking
application for the job. It will have a double affiliation with the Department
for Digital Humanities and one other department at the Faculty of Arts and
Humanities. The other department will be decided based on the profile of the
selected candidate.
The candidate should combine the use of digital tools for cultural heritage and
the humanities with well-founded reflections on methodology and the consequences
for research. One focus of the professorship is the exploration, development and
reflection of digital tools applied to digital as well as non-digital research
artefacts, e.g., in connection with collections and the management and analysis
of artefact data. The professorship is intended to add a further pillar to the
integrated approach to DH in Cologne. In this context, a separate degree program
should be developed.
The University of Cologne is committed to equal opportunities and diversity.
Women are especially encouraged to apply and will be considered preferentially
in accordance with the Equal Opportunities Act of North Rhine-Westphalia
(Landesgleichstellungsgesetz – LGG NRW). We also expressly welcome applications
from people with disabilities / special needs or of equal status.
For further information on the position and the application procedure, please

Subject: Academic opportunity in history of data and computing
Swansea University has a new opening for a Lecturer or Senior
Lecturer interested in the area(s) of Educational, Historical, and
Philosophical Foundations of Computer Science. The post is permanent,
and its formal description is here:
Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Educational, Historical and Philosophical
Foundations of Computer Science (swansea.ac.uk)
<https://www.swansea.ac.uk/jobs-at-swansea/current-vacancies/details/?nPostingId

We are looking for candidates with a strong research background and
agenda in one or more of these fields to contribute to a new research
theme in theDepartment of Computer Science. Our ambition is to allow
Swansea University to take its place among the best computer science
departments in the UK for this kind of critical and reflective study of
data and computing.
Applicants with research interests in thehistory of data and computing,
/broadly conceived/,are strongly encouraged to apply.
The Department of Computer Science already benefits from special
resources like
University's History of Computing Collection
<https://collections.swansea.ac.uk/s/history-of-computing-
collection/page/welcome>
Technocamps <https://www.technocamps.com/>,
These two initiatives support our research, teaching and outreach to
schools, teachers and the citizens all over Wales. For example, History
of Computing has been a subject in the computer science curriculum at
Swansea since 1994, and we also offer an adult learning class. We are
creating a new BSc in Digital Technology in which critical studies of
computing issues will feature.
At Swansea, there is a diverse group of academics working across all
kinds of computer science and related subjects (e.g., media) open to
interdisciplinary research opportunities. Our Department has the
opportunity to develop and teach material related to the context and
impact of computing.
Please bring this opportunity to the attention of anyone you know who
might be interested.
The closing date for applications is 3rd September 2023.
Also, please feel free to get in touch with any one of us if you would
like any further information about our plans for Swansea:
