The Department of Asian Studies and the Department of History at the University of Texas at Austin seek to recruit two post-doctoral fellows to work in an innovative digital humanities space, JapanLab. One position is available in Japanese literature, the second in Japanese history.
The post-doctoral fellowship will run from September 2022 to August 2024. Fellows will be expected to teach a 1/1 course load or 4 courses across the life of the fellowship. At least 2 of these courses will be focused on digital skills; the other two will incorporate digital humanities skills into a Japan-content course in the discipline of literature or history, respectively. In addition, each semester the fellows will work alongside a team of three or four undergraduate students to design a fully functional digital project. In total, they will work with four undergraduate teams across the life of the fellowship.
