 >>Postdoctoral fellowships in Digital Humanities at HUMlab
 >>Four postdoctoral fellowships in digital
 >>humanities are available at HUMlab, Umeå
 >>University, Sweden from January 1, 2007 (the
 >>actual start date may be later). The
 >>postdoctoral fellowships are for one year with
 >>a possible extension of one year. Applicants
 >>will be expected to have a Ph.D. in a
 >>humanities discipline and a specialty in any of
 >>four research areas (see below). In exceptional
 >>cases, other areas and backgrounds can be of interest as well.

 >>HUMlab is an internationally recognized center
 >>for the humanities and information technology.
 >>The postdoctoral fellowships are part of a new
 >>large-scale initiative to support research in
 >>digital humanities at Umeå University. The
 >>primary focus is on four research areas:
 >>participatory media, digital cultural heritage,
 >>digital art and electronic literature. As part
 >>of this initiative, the physical space of the
 >>lab will be nearly doubled during 2007 (total
 >>area of studio space: 6000+ square feet). Our
 >>long-term goal is to establish a national and
 >>international center of excellence in the
 >>humanities and information technology.

 >>HUMlab is a lively and convivial studio space
 >>with a wide variety of activities, research,
 >>technologies and cross-disciplinary
 >>interaction. It is expected that you will
 >>contribute to such an environment and that you
 >>also share our interest in working with
 >>traditional humanities disciplines and other
 >>related areas. All postdoctoral positions will
 >>be affiliated with both HUMlab and an
 >>appropriate department/discipline at the
 >>Humanities faculty. You must have a PhD degree
 >>in a humanities discipline from an
 >>international (non-Swedish) university. You
 >>will be expected to participate actively in any
 >>of the four research groups associated with the
 >>initiative. You will, therefore, need to live
 >>in Umeå during the post doctoral period.

 >>The salary will be in the range of 15 500-17
 >>000 SEK a month (tax free) depending on
 >>experience and family situation. Other benefits
 >>may be negotiated. The positions are open to
 >>applicants who do not have a Swedish
 >>citizenship. Accepted postdoctoral researchers
 >>will have full access to the facilities of
 >>HUMlab, special resources for the specified
 >>research area and different kinds of support.
 >>It is possible to start as early as on January
 >>1, 2007, but the start date is negotiable. The
 >>postdoctoral fellowships have been made
 >>possible through generous support from the Kempe Foundations.

 >>Your application should be submitted by November 30, 2006.

 >>The application should include a complete CV,
 >>two letters of recommendation, and a letter of
 >>application with a description of your
 >>postdoctoral project, including alignment with
 >>the chosen research area, the purpose of the
 >>project and expected outcome (limit: 2,500 words).
